time to diet

The_morrell · 7 Apr 2006 at 13:11

Over the past 5 months I've been bulking up quite considerably my change in over all size has been quite considerable. Though today I weighed myself and I come in at just over 17st, that means i've increased in weight by 2 stone though my fat ratio has only increased by only a couple of points up to 20%. I'm happy with my muscular size all I want to do now is get it out from behind the fat.

Anyone got some tips on what I should be thinking of doing now?

Dieting mate!

Eat all the right foods (but whilst maintaing enough food not to lose size)

ALso a lot of cardio work will burn off those calories i.e fat
But keep up the weights!

Thanks

two quick wins that are working for me

Drink lots- i mean lots - of water. Try and drink about 2 litres a day - you **** like a good 'un for a few days but then your system gets used to it!

Also just cut down on your portion size of your main meal of the day - eat a bit less than you normally would.

I've lost about 18lbs since January and hope to go for about 7/8 lb more now that the summer is approaching and the bike can come out!!!

Good luck

I am coming towards the end of a cut at the moment, gone pretty well i suppose, come down a few % in BF and have had it estimated at between 12-14 which for me is outstanding because im always used to being fat.
This is just 1 of the phases i went through, the diet changed every 2 weeks with each weak having different amounts of carbs and calories etc.
