some might already know that ive lost about 40 pounds while "cutting", probably 35 of it was pure fat. anyways as i am about to start gaining as much muscle as possible this summer, i still have some fat on the "pooch" area and my love handles. i really dont know how to get rid of this as ive alternated doing diferent things for some time now. even when i burned 1000 or more calories a day for 2 weeks straight i didnt lose any fat. ive been eating clean for almost four months now.

does anyone have advice for getting rid of this fat?

How long have you been cutting? Post you diet and how many calories you are taking in

Posted by: BiggT

i take in around 2000 calories a day.

bk-usually 6 egg whites, 1 yolk, 1cup otameal

mms- pb&j (natural pb and sugar free jelly on whole wheat) and banana

lunch-6oz chicken or pure protein bar

pre workout-chicken breast(35g protein) and banana usually

post- 2 chicken breats (some small portion of simple sugars/carbs)

dinner- some type of meat woith veggies or salad

i work out twice a day for a total of about 2.5-3 hrs. i burn no less than 600kcals of cardio a day.

ive been "cutting" for almost 4 months now. i was whooping a$$ until about 3 months in. then all of a sudden my fat loss haulted and i havent gained or lost since. ive been alternating excercises for the past month with HIIT,slow burning activity,swimming, basketball, i lift weights every day 6 days a week, ive tried light lifting, im doing heavy lifting now. i dont know what to do. i want to get back on Xenadrine EFX because thats what i took when i lost all my weight. but im flat a$$ broke.

anyways any help is appreciated.

thanks

decrease your saturated fats ....no yolks and eat chicken breasts and fish instead of meat....add some vegetables and efas (olive oil is great )in luch protein alone is not consiedered a meal also your body will burn protein instead of carbs if you don't eat carbs.... add flax or fish oil at your dinner ...

u don't need to work out that much you need to rest and cycle your carbs then you'll add muscle mass means less bf%

lunch-6oz chicken or pure protein bar where is carbs here eat vegetables and little brown rice or oats also efa's
pre workout-chicken breast(35g protein) and banana usually put this banana after your workout and eat oats in here

post- 2 chicken breats (some small portion of simple sugars/carbs)like what?? fruit is ok i suggest that u get your pre banana in here and eat oats in your pre instead
dinner- some type of meat woith veggies or salad
drop the meat (high sat. fats) and eat chicken or tuna or fish instead also you must get efas here

i work out twice a day for a total of about 2.5-3 hrs. i burn no less than 600kcals of cardio a day.u don't need cardio every day do only 3 -4 per week maximum and focus on 6-12 rep range in your weight training to increase your muscle mass
.good luck[[/color][/size]

i do all of that. and when i say meat i mean chicken usually. i take fish oil. i have olive oil everyday. i eat carbs every meal almost, except for dinner.

i dunno.... this just pisses me off to the extreme. EVERY SINGLE spot on my body is tight and cut with veins buldging yet my love handles and pooch area wont go away.
and i havent even cheated ONCE in the last 4 months and ive NEVER missed a workout.

its fu**in rediculous.

Firstly - the 'diet' you posted is really unbalanced... I would not be surprised if you have some major 'issues' (eg: fiber, vitamins/ minerals, healthy fats - and no, just taking fish oils is not enough) "dieting"...

Secondly - but if you you HAD/HAVE been dieting for 4 mnths without a break and you HAVE been working out for 3 hrs EVERY day then that may well be your problem....

Take a rest.

Let your body 'recover' metabolically.

See what happens.

pps: do you know how much you are eating (ie: calories) - if not, then that may also be your other problem...

maybe u need to cheat

i mean refeed check the refeed sticky in the diet forum ...... also sice u are very ripped and lean u must drop your carbs more than this eat just one banana post w/o and eat less oats , drop your cals by 100 and do more cardio on your off days.......

that what i told him to add (efas) real efas not caps , also if he's eating vegetables and fruits daily why do u think it's unbalanced

Posted by: Emma-Leigh

G'ah = firstly - There are only two real EFAs - ALA and LA... And you don't really need to add all that much to cover your basic needs... So 6-8g of fish oils covers the omega-3s (ALA) and your diet (unless SUPER low in fats eg: egg whites and vegetables ONLY) will usually cover the omega-6 (LA)

Secondly - did you LOOK at the diet?

Where is the fiber (a little from the oats and a little from the vegetables in the last meal) - also - dairy? Calcium? Legumes? Nuts and seeds? Grains? He is basically eating one source of protein (chicken) and only one peice of fruit a day (a banana)... The meals are not well balanced in terms of carbs, fats and protein and they are poorly arranged in terms of optimising pre and post-workout nutrition... So, yes, in my eyes - it is highly unbalanced.

its also really hard to have a set in stone diet plan because i am a junior in high school with no job(until summer) and 7 ppl in my family on a very low budget.

anyways im gonna keep trying things, becuse thats the kind of person i am. and i do take your guys' advice to heart even though i may seem edgy in my posts.

im also worried of taking more than 1 day off a week because i feel that if i do that im cheating myself of hard work.

and when u say rest do u mean cardio or weights or both?

and i try to eat as much efa's as possible which is hard. my family usually has salmon every sunday with steak as well.
