Lose fat and gain muscle simutaneously without roids? I know this is a stupid n00b question that I should know by now after posting 2932838 posts, but I'm retarded. I thought it was possible under optimum circumstances?

Yes. Although, it becomes increasingly difficult the more advanced you get.

You mean how do you do it? It depends on the person. What are you stats and body fat?BigDyl said:Thanks for the input.

Okay, I have the same question so I will post here and you can tell me how dumb I am for trying to build muscle when I have so much fat to loose. My routine is pretty basic, but I do not think I am advanced enough to have to mix it up too much since I am still getting a really good burn.

Woah. You are trying to gain muscle on that diet? What are your cals like 2000?
You need protein for both snacks, and you need a carb for breakfast, as well as the shake.
Heh... Thanks for validating that. The title of the thread was "Is it possible" (not my thread, just the one I stole). The diet is to try and drop 40 lbs of fat, the workouts right now are to try to keep from cannibalizing the muscle I have. Based on your answers I am going to go with the conventional wisdom of "No" you can't do it, since there is no way I am going to drop 40 lbs eating 2500 - 3000 calories a day. Maybe I should up the cardio and reduce the lifting until I get closer to my goal weight.
Oh, and yeah, I do realize this is Iron Mag, not Morbidly Obese mag.
