Hey I've got a question about cardio... But firstly just want to say that it has been approximately 3 weeks since I started my cut, cleaned up my diet and did daily cardio. Since then I dropped from 161 lbs to about 151 lbs right now! Much more defined at this point. Anyway, I plan on doing...

Well I am at 160 now, and I'm cutting. But so far, my cutting actually made me gain 2 pounds, but lose some BF%!

Well I do eat it everyday... Like a pear or a mango or something daily. Honestly, if I can get fat from eating fruit, then that's just ridiculous lol. From what I've heard, fruit and veggies will never get you fat, in a million years. Not sure whether or not that's fiction, but for now I...

I eat 20% fat. As far as carbs go, mostly it's natural. Fruits, veggies, pastas (home made) and oatmeal. Are those good choices?

Does anyoen have a clear answer? I am trying to cut now, and eat lots of carbs (well same as my protein) and minimal fat. Is that good for a cut? Or are carbs what I need to drop and increase my fat intake? I'm pretty confused with all these conflicting opinions. Is there anyone with facts! Does...

I am 5'8. What should I weigh? Is there some sort of average or agreed upon healthy weight for that height?

I'm one of those that does them almost everyday. I wake up and do 100 situps. Don't know if it is bad for me or not, but it just feels right!

Do you guys train with lots of reps, or low reps (same as for other muscles) and lots of weight? I generally do lots for abs, but then again shouldn't abs increase the same way as all other muscles, meaning with higher weights? For me to hit abs a max of only 6-10 times, I would have to pack on...

Yeah that's what I figured. I started p/rr/s so my reps are changing from week to week. But generally I never do ridiculous amounts like 20. Unless it's for my abs of course...

Can somebody explain whether or not this statement is true? Does doing less weight and more reps really work during a "cut" phase and give more definition then doing power workouts with fewer reps and more weights? I have noticed more of a "burn" in the muscles when doing less weight/more reps...

Hopefully not! :eek: All I know is that I have fat on my stomach, I can't get any muscles there to show. I'm perfectly happy with the rest of my body, in fact I would likely be bulking still only if I didn't decide that this stomach deal has to get fixed. Now I am pretty much eating normal, a...

My general theory at this point is simply to clean up my food and basically eat only healthy stuff. Calories I really don't count because I don't have the time for that. On top of that I am not fat at all and have a decent metabolism that can burn off fat reasonably well. Why not do cardio...

Well pretty low. Around 1900 a day.

So it's mostly my fat that's being used up right? I mean I am not going to lose too much muscle on this diet? I am taking lots of protein/carbs hoping to save up as much muscle as possible, also doing my regular workout, just lower overall calories and lots of running.

This is my third day now of low calories and cardio almost everyday, and I feel like my stomach never seems to be full. I mean I'm not starving, but I could definitely eat more. Is this normal? I am anticipating my next meal! Lol

I hate cutting though. I feel like all that hard work to get my weights up is going to get pissed away. Not to mention my muscles deflate or something.

So any truth to this or no?

That you need to start cutting? If for example you simply cannot gain any abs despite constant workouts and have fat on the stomach area, does this necessarily mean it's time to cut?

Oh it is if your an executive... No time to do anything let alone eat 6 meals a day.

So I have to cut my carbs? From what I read I need my carbs at the same intake level as protein, and my fats at the lowest. True? I am trying 40/40/20. As far as the meals thing goes, it is probably true, but it depends on what you classify as a meal. I mean if eating a banana is a meal, then...
