Thread: fat loss..without muscle loss?

Eat healthy, six times a day, up your cardio, you will not lose much mass if any at all. Most people have a " I will lose my mass " phobia

Uh...ya do lose mass....fat and water is mass too. Even on anabolic steroids you can lose a grip of muscle when dieting over a long period of time.

To the thread starter....

To try and keep as much LBM as possible while cutting...the trick is to do it slowly....1% of ur bodyweight per week is what you want to be losing....maybe a couple pounds a week. Keep protein up and meal frequency up and don't cut cals too quickly....cut them gradually until you start to lose the desired 1-2 pounds a week.

You still want to keep ur protein over 200 grams a day. Protein shakes all day to achieve this is not good though...get most of ur protein from real food....grilled fish/chicken/lean red meats/etc....get ur carbs from sweet potatoes/real oatmeal/brown rice/etc. I try to keep my shakes to 1 a day and it's PWO, when it's the most beneficial.

Anabolic Diet, I will be doing it this summer and seeing how I had great results when I did it for a short period I expect to get at 10% by end of August.

Cardio is the name of the game but make sure you aren't starving yourself, personally I get paranoid when I start feeling hungry but good luck.
