Any tips?

There are alot of ways to lose the fat but none of them are easy and fast...
Here are some tips :
1) Don't starve yourself, in other words if you are hungry you should eat ... your body tends to store fat when u starve it...
2) Eat healthy foods; less carbs , less fatty , high protein ...there are actually healthy fats like in avo...
3) Drink loads of water, this helps to keep you full
4) Take a fat burner if you want but not necessary
5) Do loads of cardio... If you feel normal after a workout then you have not pushed hard enough... no pain no gain...
6) If you want to pump weights, pump light weights and lots of reps
7) Consult with an approved trainer, he will see you physique and guide you accordingly

the key is to burn more fat than you intake everyday... its like your bank account, if you spend more than you earn monthly then eventually you will loose until the day you will have no more

Good tips there, thanks.

eat whatever you want just count calories, like pluggie said burn more than you eat

that is ALL

[silent_riot]

Good advice from pluggie. I would disregard number 4 and consider number 6 mandatory.
I learned the hard way the importance of carbs. I lose a lot of muscle size when I eat low carbs.

I guess Intermittent fasting is more of a lesson in self control, portion control and discipline than anything.

I partially agree with the views above, cause I lost a crapload of weight with the simple recipe of reduced calories and cardio. I think it's important in WHAT you eat as well, manage your macros, watch that sugar - especially if you're a big/fat dude.

FOr me, different goals this time around. Not weight loss but FAT Loss. Don't wanna lose too much LBM, so I'm still weight training and hitting my protein macros.

That's why I made this a short-term goal (12 weeks) to cut and lose about 3-5% BF. The Omron BF monitor told me that I was 17-18% BF using the 'normal' setting and 14-15BF using the 'athlete' setting. It may be off, but it's consistent.
At the end of the 12 weeks, I'm aiming for 13-14 on normal and 10-12 on athlete.

[VexXx Dogg]

bear in mind my current regime is about 600 calories less than my normal one.

[silent_riot]

I dunno nah, when I cut from my current weight, my lbm goes down as much as fat.
I think I need to consume more brotein.

[VexXx Dogg]

Maybe I've been reading to much damn broscience.
we'll see how my experiment works at the end of this 12 weeks.

badmind can take you far.

For sure man... Its always good to go online and do a little research just for an idea but its always better to speak with a professional trainer who can give advice based on your goals, body type , age etc ... every goal with have a different strategy ...My case and VexXx Dogg are similar in regards to I do not want to lose actual body weight infact I want to gain a few Kgs (from 95-105 kgs) but I want to lower my BF from 15.3 to 13 by end Feb.

Finished my mini bulk at the end of december 2013. Gained some muscle and fat, as that was the purpose, gaining some fat comes with the territory when bulking, especially dirty bulking.
Im at 190-193lbs there. All my compound lifts went up significantly so did soggyness lol
Started my cut in jan 2014 would update with a pic in a couple month as its a slow cut i dont want to loose too much LBM. Lifts done start to drop tho not by much, its to be expected.

[Conrad]

^ what are your big3 lifts now?

Hopefully you can give an idea of how much they dropped when youve reached your goal.

Thanks for sharing.

For the weight loss guys, what boosts your total metaboilc rate (including EPOC) more?

Just HIIT?
Heavy weights, few reps?
Light weight, lots of reps?
Cardio?

[Rainman]

does it hold you till lunch Rainman?

Update to this: I started this channa thing this Monday, however i find that the Cup o' Channa does in fact hold me til lunch, without the need for snack. I may have been calculating the calorie count incorrectly. My best estimates based on the link below puts that cup of channa closer to the 255-300 mark, which is higher than my previous estimate of around 175-200......Counting calories is difficult with local food
