Group is mostly lower body so...
Hill sprints will do the trick so do at least TEN 40 yards hill sprints or better yet...
Do 3-to-7 seven 100+ yard hill sprints and if no hills...
Sprint on a flat surface

Hi! glad somebody has the decency to give some useful advice without emptying our pockets, thanks. I'm not in bad shape, so I could happily perform most of these workouts without collapsing in a sweaty heap, just thought I'd like to get that little bit fitter over the summer. What I was wondering though, is whether there are any effective alternatives to weights and a gym that I can use to begin this plan at home, where I don't really have access to them. most of the group A & B superset exercises seem to need at least weights. I realise that alternatives will probably not be ideal, but I'll be back at university in a few months where I can get into the gym, and hoed you could suggest some exercises that might work in the meantime. for example, I can do handstand push-ups or chin ups from group B, but can you suggest some exercises that I could use in place of the group A one, all of which require weights etc., just for a few months. Thanks alot in advance, You are helping a lot of people out.

It's simple...
You still need to lose fat with more dieting and probably more intense exercise because you see...
as you lose weight everybody loses weight at differnet places at differnet times and usually...
Women will have flatter abs but still flabby legs after fat loss and guys like you have flabby belly but skinnier arms so to really carve out a six pack and see more muscle definition...
you need to lose more fat and from you are telling me...
you may need to go to Nowloss.com/15
Adrian Bryant | 06.23.09 - 7:24 pm
Hi, I really need some enlightment. It seems that i'm stuck and do not know where to go from here. Let me shed some light on where ive come and to where I am now. I started back in the 8th grade to diet and work out. I successfully went from 280 to about 200 over the course of my high school years. Before, I wasnt eating 5 meals a day because of my lack of knowledge about that. So I find it very suprising that I got this far with just eating 3 meals.. but at the same time I was decreasing my calories, or atleast I was trying. after my 200 mark I took a small break and decided to start back later. This time I was eating 5 meals a day. By the time I got to my senior year.. I made it down to 185. My problem is though, Im still what fat and flabby.. such as my stomach and arms.. I can feel my 6 pack.. but the fat that remains there is hiding it, but at the same time.. my forearms and legs are skinny as hell. So I dont get it.. its like some of my body parts arent synced with the rest of my body.. could someone please explain to me why my results have turned out like this and what can I do to get muscular instead. I dont want to lose anymore fat because im pretty some what skinny now.. but at the same time I have fat. Im confused and do not know what to do. I would really! appreciate any kind of help and tips, thanks!

Any weight you can do less than 5 reps with is heavy
any weight you can do 5-to-10 reps is moderate
any weight you can do 10+ reps is light
Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 10:15 pm
Hi, I'm 6'1" around 165 pounds.
I'm a bit flabby and I'm really interested in using the Ryan Reynold's workout plan you have here basically.
I understand most of the work out plan except how heavy I should use the weights, because I'm not sure what is considered "light", "moderate", or "heavy". Is there a way to test or method to judge how heavy of weights I should be using in the work out plan?
Thanks in advance!

I never heard of a sweat spot or fungus - you're going to have to see a doctor about that
Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 10:17 pm
i had been working out and then i realise this white spot on my face, my frens told me its coz i wet that area with water after i workout...
any way of removing it?
i think its called a sweat spot or fungus ??
Splinter | 06.06.09 - 11:31 pm
bozno09
Yes you can workout like that for one of your days and since that workout is mainly a back, bicep and leg workout...
make sure you work on your chest, shoulders and triceps by doing bench presses or shoulder presses your other day
Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 3:18 pm
Is it okay if I do 4 sets of deadlifts followed by 4 sets chin ups, then do another 4 sets of deadlifts followed by 4 sets of pull ups for one of my days?
bozno09@yahoo.com | 06.01.09 - 2:33 pm

No - that will not limit you but of course you'll build more muscle and burn more fat if you could workout twice a day
Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 11:27 pm
I have school throughout the day(morning and most of afternoon) so I was wondering if I should workout once a day with heavy weights. Is that okay or will that limit the amount of muscle I will build and the amount of fat I lose?

Go to NowLoss.com/abs to get good looking abs
Go here for a bicep workout
try bench dips for tricpes
Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 11:08 pm
Hey Adrian,
I'm 6"3 and weigh in the region of 145lbs, I was wondering what the best/most efficient method for me would be to getting a six pack under the Ryan Reynolds look.
I'm 15 years old and being pretty thin I've started eating quite a bit and have followed your regime for a couple of weeks but not entirely sure what workouts I should be doing so far I've been varying quite a bit.
So basically what I was wondering what recommended abs workouts you had for this toned up look I'm going for
I'm also looking to build my biceps and triceps up but I'm currently settled on them
Thanks for any help
Joe | 05.25.09 - 10:29 pm
Ryan,
You must be young if you can do all that without overtraining but...
I would do only 5-to-7 sets of the morning part followed by 4-to-5 sets of the evening part in ONE workout.
You see... you really need at least 4 hours rest between the morning & evening workouts and...
For tues and friday... you can just do one of these workouts and there's no need to combine these workouts but the only thing is that your fat loss rate may be slower but YOU WILL STILL LOSE FAT!
Adrian Bryant | 05.21.09 - 9:14 am
So I understand your workout plan for Ryan Reynolds completely, but my only question is because I have a very busy life and can't do the morning halves of the workout, should I just combine them with the the afternoon half or drop them altogether? I started this maybe 2 or 3 days ago, and I've just been combining the two and it doesn't seem to damage me in any way, I'm not overexerting myself or anything, but I figured I'd check for confirmation.
Thanks for your help, you've got a great site going here man

You'll be better gaining muscle mass here first and then afterwards...
You can lose any fat you gain with nowLoss.com/15
Adrian Bryant | 05.09.09 - 6:12 pm
I am 6 foot 2 inches, 192 pounds at about 15% body fat, my waist line is 34.25 inches. I am trying to get the Ryan Reynolds look but I dont know if I should use this plan or the LL Cool J Plan because I am pretty skinny to begin with.
I keep reading that the Ryan Reynolds workout is for people trying to get lean who have higher body fat. My goal is about 20-30 lbs of muscle in 6-8 months. Which one would get me there quicker?
What are the realistic expectations of muscle gain for the Ryan Renolds workout and LL Cool J workout in 6 to 8 months?
I am new to this website and I already love what this site has to offer. Thank you very much!
bozno09@yahoo.com | 05.09.09 - 3:13 pm
David,
You can just follow the plan at NowLoss.com/w to burn fat and build muscle and as you lose fat you'll lose CHEST FAT.
But if you really have MAN BOOBS (MAN Boobs & chest fat are differnet) you need to go here to see how to lose man boobs
doing chest exercises wont help you lose fat - only diet and exercise will and the only reason why your chest fat/man bobs may SEEM to get bigger when doing chest workouts is becasue you built muscle without burning the fat making your chestfat look bigger
Adrian Bryant | 05.09.09 - 11:19 am
Hey, I'm David I'm 13 and I weigh around 208/9lbs which is huge I'm quite tall about 5ft 8" and i'm allready pretty muscle but it's under fat and I'd really like to know the best way to get it off but gaining muscle at the same time, I allready have a pretty big frame(built like that) also can you please tell me the best way to lose manboobs and chest fat using dumbells? I've read some places that chest workouts with dumbells just make your manboobs bigger and I've read other places that they don't and it's quite tricky for me to pick an I really need a way to loose my fat thighs/upper legs because when I wear pants that are jeans it's just so tight and looks horibble thanks in advance
David | 05.08.09 - 3:54 pm
James,
Either one will work but...
THe Ryan Reynolds plan will burn fat quicker and...
the ll cool j plan will build muscle quicker but...
If you haven't worked out in a while I think the ryan reynolds plan will be best because you'll experience "beginner muscle growth" while losing fat while on the other hand...
If you do the LL cool J plan - you will gain muscle fast but you will gain fat also and to lose that fat you'll have to use NowLoss.com/15 so to make this easy for you...
Just do the ryan reynolds plan to start and my best advice to you is...
If you are not happy with fat burning results = add more cardio and/or...
If you are not happy with muscle gains = lay off cardio while upping calories
Adrian Bryant | 05.05.09 - 3:12 pm
Hi Adrian,
I am 18 years old, 5'11 165 lbs, and 10.12% body fat (according to your calculator). I am looking to go up to 170 lbs, with 6-8% body fat. Which workout should I use? "Burn fat build muscle" or "Build Bigger muscle" (Ryan Reynolds or LL Cool J) Which will give me optimal results quicker?
Thanks for your help, your website is fantastic,
James

Ahmed,
You & YOUR body will adapt to anything eventually so it's best to change up whatever routine you do every 4 weeks
Adrian Bryant | 05.03.09 - 11:36 pm
Hello Adrain,
I love how much I have learned just by communicating with you. I have finally figured out a way and a routine to get out of the plateau and it is moving slowly but no complaints. I wanted to ask, I have been doing supersets for intense muscle workouts preferably, 4 sets of isolation exercise followed by a set with isolation exercise and one compound exercise. I have been reading that supersets are an effective way for shocking the muscle groups however shouldn't always be trained, I have been doing that Monday, Wednesday and Friday of every week. Am I creating muscle adaptation that these supersets wouldn't be effective anymore? I look forward for your response, thanks.
Ahmed | 05.03.09 - 3:41 pm
Landon,
Keep at your pace - you're doing good but...
You could increase to 3500 calories to speed things up
Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 10:26 pm
Whats up,
I weigh in at a whopping 145 lbs and am 6'1" at the age of 22 ... I have been on a high calorie(avg. 3000/day)/protein(avg. 275g/day) diet the past month. Unlike the average person I'm trying to gain weight / muscle mass while avoiding the "bad foods" such as red meats, fast food, and unhealthy snacks ... I'm also taking Ce2, N02 black, Whey protein (after workout), and a multi vitamin pack from GNC daily ... I also squeeze in at least one heavy 2 hour workout everyday... That being said in the past month I have gotten stronger, but have only gained 4 measley pounds ... Is there something I need to adjust in my diet or my workout to help push my weight up to the 180-190 range? or should I just keep at this pace and hope for the best?
Landon | 04.28.09 - 11:37 pm
Ahmed,
As you get closer and closer to your weight loss goal - your weight loss rate will get slower & slower.
Look at these weight loss factors and...
You really don't have to worry about losing muscle mass due to diet unless you are on a VERY LOW calorie diet like less than 1000 calories a day and/or a high protein diet
Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 7:39 am
Thanks Adrian for your tip, I am not looking to build huge muscles, just wanna be toned as I lose my fat at the same time. I am not looking to get huge muscles, just in shape. I do the weight training also, however if I was to put my entire focus on the weight loss, will that make my body use my muscles for energy, therefore losing the muscle mass, which I do not want because of the deficit.
I see my weight going down really slow now, maybe a half a pound or so per day, and I am noticing a slow changes as well in the formation of the muscles, just having a terrible time trying to get rid of the flabs. I continue to work them out, especially the triceps, but I guess I shouldn't expect huge changes in my triceps like I did for my sudden fast weight loss.
Thank you for the tip.
Ahmed | 04.25.09 - 12:50 am
Ahmed,
Basically...
You can burn fat and build muscle at the same time but...
Don't expect to build th MAXimum about of muscle you possbily can because like you said...
You'll be in somewhat of a defiecit plus doing cardio which will cut you back from your muscle building potential and in your case...
I strongly suggest you focus on losing weight MORE than gaining muscle.
You can still do weight training but I would make weight loss my 1 & only primary goal
Adrian Bryant | 04.24.09 - 9:27 pm
Hello Adrian,
I have been wondering as I question upon reading many articles and asking questions about the idea of the possibility of losing weight and building muscle at the same time. Is this even doable, because I understand how the body works, sounds difficult to lose weight and build muscle, because in order to lose weight you have to have a calorie deficit, but to build muscle you have to consume more calories. I am extremely cautious on which way to go, because I am not too sure I am consuming right in building the muscle and losing the fat at the same time.
I am doing the weight training exercises in addition to interval training for cardio. I consume roughly about 2000 to 2500 calories each day trying to have as much protein as I can to make up a lot of the protein intake, I am also consuming whey protein, and I am now 279.7 pounds and 6'2.
What should be done first or if possible continue my journey in trying to maintain both at the same time. Any pointers in what I should have before bed or anything to assist me in this way, because I hear a glass of milk before bed is nutritious for the the muscles, anything of that nature that will allow me to build muscle and lose fat at the same time I will appreciate. I have read everything you have suggested, I guess I need a more deeper help in terms of nutritious practices to maintain my body type for the exhausting workouts I do.
I Look forward to your expert reply, thanks for the help you provided me since I began.
Ahmed | 04.23.09 - 10:29 pm
Thanks Adrian!!!
chris | 04.21.09 - 9:46 pm
Ahmed,
You have nothing to worry about and that's a sign you're gaining sexy muscle.
See #12 here for more info on why not to worry
Adrian Bryant | 04.21.09 - 8:12 pm
Hello Adrian,
Maybe you can explain this to me, because I am not sure what is going on. As I have been trying to get out of a plateau, which I think I had the past week. I have tried breaking it, however per day, I tend to gain a pound then lose it, and it is like that from day to day. Strangely, my clothes are becoming even more lose, but I am gaining this pound on and off, what could be occurring to explain this phenomenon?
Thanks I look forward for your reply.
Take care
Ahmed | 04.21.09 - 12:27 pm
Jeremiah,
Are you sure the navy isn't more concerned with body fat percentage than total weight?
Whatever the case may be - if you want to maintain or lose fat (weight) while getting muscular or in your case - more toned because...
If you can't gain weight (no more than 5 pounds) then you be able to gain much mass so you can follow my burn fat muscle plan to reach your goals but to pass Navy standards...
Make sure you eat the low end amount of calories to maintain your weight
Adrian Bryant | 04.21.09 - 8:10 pm
Hi Adrian.
I'm a US Sailor, but I'm having a little bit of difficulty. I was a little overweight a month or so ago compared to Navy Standards.. I was 181 lbs at 5'7", and at the max weight, I needed to be 175 lbs. I've already acheived that goal, and I'm sitting at 174.5 lbs as we speak. Anyways, I started exercising a lot more and I'm really getting into it. I saw your "How to get ripped" section and I decided that I don't just want to be on the minimum requirements anymore, I want to take it to the max.
Anyways, I have a physical fitness test soon, I'm 100% sure I'll pass. But, I want to gain more muscle while still losing weight. I used to run Cross Country, so All my exercises are all cardio based and with nothing for weight more than pushups.
So, I don't know how to gain muscle and lose fat and not exceed my navy weight standards. I fear if I eat too much as muscle gaining requires, I'll bust out of standards again, and fail the weight standards test I have in almost 2 months. Is it possible for me to gain muscle and lose fat at an equal rate, so I don't gain actual weight or so I can lose weight but still gain muscle? My test is in roughly 2 months, and after that, I'll have more freedom to eat how I want and I'm sure I'll have burned enough fat by then to make up for muscle gain and still be in standards for the Navy.
By the way, I saw your handstand pushups video. It was very inspiring, I'm going to start training for that immediately with elevated pushups, and practicing doing handstands.
Thank you for your time.
Jeremiah | 04.20.09 - 10:29 pm
Thanks Adrian!!!
chris | 04.21.09 - 9:46 pm
chris,
NO...
Dumbbell or trap bar deadlifts work your hips & quads (along with lower back) more than regualr deadlifts so there is less STRESS on lower back but...
the potential for injury (like all exercises) is still there but YES...
Dumbbell or trap bar is safer in my opinion
Adrian Bryant | 04.21.09 - 7:59 pm
do dumbell deadlifts have pressure on your back like regular deadlifts?
If yes, do they have about the same amount of pressure?
I want to strengthen my back(especially lower back) with seriously hurting it.
chris | 04.20.09 - 7:29 pm

Look at how to break out of a weight loss plateau
Adrian Bryant |
04.19.09 - 8:07 pm
Hello Adrian,
I have been loosing tremendous weight ever since I started at 330 pounds, now I am at 279-280, however I think after this 50 pound loss I may have hit the plateau. I usually loose weight everyday, but the past 5 days my weight has been the same. Should I worry, or what can I do to change this, and loose more weight. I have incorporated different muscle training each day as well as cardio, but I am at the point where I am extremely hard but no changes. What do you suggest I do?
Thank you, I look forward to your reply.

Your activity level means all activity including the workouts YOU DID BEFORE THIS Plan and sports
Adrian Bryant | 04.19.09 - 7:53 am
does the activity level mean the number of days you work out, sports or any other type of exercise, or both?
kevin | 04.18.09 - 11:52 am
Ahmed,
I suggest you stick to the basic compound workout (not the diet) here
Adrian Bryant | 04.17.09 - 9:13 pm
Thank you Adrian for the sculpting link, your techniques and training are very challenging, especially the ab workout, my abs have been tremendously sore today. I have tried your full workout for the first two days and I am failing at that. Reason being, I think I am not taking in enough calories that is recommended for my body, so it has been exhausting. I am switching to my old routine but definitely adding your sculpting training.
I need help in deciding which workout is best for my muscles. I have no idea where to begin and which muscles to work on through out the week and so on. I perform much better in the morning, the night workouts are not exactly working for me, I believe my stomach is now small to handle my workout routine that I have been doing.
What would you suggest I work on for the muscles, like arms one day, then back next, and chest or whatever. I tend to do a 5 min warm up on the treadmill, then I do my weights and then I do the intense cardio training which I do everyday, followed by the ab workout if I am able to continue.
I look forward to your suggestions, or which plan of the muscle sculpting may best fit my schedule and energy.
Thank you for your help, you have changed many people's bodies, and you will change mine, because I love your training.

No need to fear - overweight people always lose weight at a very fast rate so that's natural and...
You can keep doing what you were doing all along to lose weight and you can just dabble in the body sculpting exercises here for men to firm up flabby skin
Adrian Bryant | 04.15.09 - 8:43 pm
Hello, I came across this plan and I find it very worthwhile in trying. I am 6'3 and weighed 330 pounds, and now I am 283 pounds. I lost all that weight in a matter of 2 months which is a lot. However I had a fear of losing muscle and the scare of having flabby or loose skin. I am starting this workout plan on Thursday. Is there anything I need to worry about despite this sudden weight loss, because I feel very much more fit than I used to, I was hitting the gym everyday, and my mistake was not resting, is the 2 months of work going to a bad direction, because I am changing the program to what your suggesting and so willingly to try...my email is ahmedibrahim23@gmail.com. Thanks!!
Ahmed | 04.15.09 - 8:43 am
adam,
It depends on how much the average person weighed but...
an average person shouldn't see too much of a weight gain on this plan while...
An overweight person will see a big drop in fat weight and...
a skinny guy will gain lots of muscle weight
Adrian Bryant | 04.11.09 - 8:27 pm
would the average weight person gain weight while on this program since muscle weighs more than fat?
adam | 04.10.09 - 6:08 pm
mack,
I would start out with NowLoss.com/50 first to lose 100 pounds or MORE fast before you focus on getting ripped because...
Getting ripped is MORE about fat loss and since you have a lot to lose - do NowLoss.com/50 1st

Hi Adrian
U got a great website, I have read everything and i am starting from tomorrow. I 22 yrs old and weigh 400 pounds. However, I am agile according to my weight. I am currently doing 1 hour cadio and weight on altenate days. I just got 2 concers. First, If i follow religously how much till will i take to reduce 100 pounds? Second, will it prevent my skin to sag after i loose all my weight. thank u, i need help and ready to do anything.
mack | 04.07.09 - 6:17 am
guille,
1) You always need to be changing up your workouts every 4-to-6 weeks so for example... if you start off doing power cleans then after 4 weeks you may want to switch to deadlifts but after 6 months...
You can workout just 1-to-2 times a week or less to maintain your body and also... Eat right and don't pig out a whole lot to maintain your body
2) You can get a body like Ryan Reynolds but as you can see here at NowLoss.com/rr -those are modeling shots where the lighting is just right to make his body look perfect and he doesn't look like that everyday but...
In the Matthew McConaughey pics here... those are regualr pics taken normally without any special lighting effects to make his body look perfect as possible
ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.28.09 - 8:50 am
hi adrian,
this is a great site ,i have two
questions
1 if lets say i do this work out and in 6 months i get the body i want(i hope so)then can i use the same exercices for the rest of my life(easy) ,or do i have to change the exercises after those months?
and next
2 when you say that the more realistic results are a body like
Matthew McConaugheys does that mean that the other guys body from blade trinity is more dificult to get or what?
guille | 03.28.09 - 3:57 am
Nate,
My simple answer is that if you're seeing good results then you have nothing to worry about but as far as heated milk goes...
I'm not 100% sure but I also don't think heating the milk will hurt your goals of getting ripped and...
Good job on your quick results! and stay in touch if you have more questions
Adrian Bryant | 03.26.09 - 3:28 pm
I've been following this schedule for about a week now and I can see a difference already... but I'm wondering... I'm eating a lot of bananas and celery. I'm also drinking milk in the morning, but its heated. Is this good? Also, does heating the milk affect what it does?

Number2 | 03.24.09 - 6:09 pm
Alex,
You Could BUT...
You really need to give your body a chance to rest, recover and grow/get better looking muscles and if you do workout...
Make sure it's a light long duration 60+ min workout like walking
Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 6:23 pm
i know im supposed to not workout on wednesdays but can i do fast weight loss workout 1 or 2 on wednesdays to lose more fat.
Alex | 03.23.09 - 12:24 pm
Nate,
Here's the deal...
If you are more concerned about losing weight then stick to 1900-to-2500 calories a day until you lose your first ten pounds but if you are trying to lose fat while gaining muscle...
Do the plan at NowLoss.com/rr
ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.17.09 - 10:40 am
I'm 21 my height 5'11 and weight again 278. I'm gonna do tae bo and probably some weights.Just my calorie intake is not close to the amount your nowloss/50 page says to be at so im wondering if that will affect me.

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.01.09 - 11:36 am
Hey Adrian,
I want to start you muscle building activities but before I do I just want to check with you on if there's less exercise or more exercise I should be doing. Right now I'm about to start doing wrestling and I'm already a football offensive lineman. If like 5'8 and around 180 lbs so I definatly got the weight to do it, but I want to have more strength. I was wondering if you could tell me a plan on how I can change as much of that fat into muscle for next season of football! Thanks!
(BTW, I'm In 8th Grade Just Incase that makes any difference)!
San | 02.28.09 - 7:02 pm
Ray,
If you're unable to do Fast weight loss workout #1 or Fast weight loss workout #2 in the evening because of soreness or other reasons...
Go ahead and take the evenings off until you work up to Morning & Evening workouts but if you can...
Instead of doing Fast weight loss workout #1 or Fast weight loss workout #2 in the evening - do a 45-to-90 minute lower-to-moderate intensity workout like walking at a slower pace but...
If your goal is to really build more muscle instead of losing fat - then all you may need is the Monday & thursday morning workouts
Adrian Bryant | 02.24.09 - 3:47 pm
I started this plan today.
I have tried doing the Monday workout. I done weighted bench dips and weighted squats using 60 lbs for the Monday morning... however atm I am too worn out and sore to do the evening workout...
Should I try to stick with the morning exercises for the first few weeks to build up endurance before going back to trying to do morning and evening?

Hi, I'm 5'10" and weigh about 210 lbs i am going to start this plan but was wondering since i have love handles will this make them go away and turn them into muscle or should i be doing another workout for this.
thanks

C.J.,
A. NO - if you want to lose fat faster - just pick the LAZY option from activity level and of course...
If you're not happy with ft loss you can cut an extra 100-to-250 calories but before you decide to do that...
I would try to speed up fat loss with 1-thru-5 here
B. NO - do whatever best fits your schedule
C. It depends - If you need the extra energy - You need to eat a meal with complex carbs about an hour before working out but usually (if you're like me) - you probably don't need "extra energy" for weight training so...
yyou can just weight training and have a regualar meal afterwards

Three questions--
A. Diet: I am a 24 male, 6'2", 187 lbs, 14% body fat. For the diet calculator should I put my full weight or should I subtract the lbs. of body fat (resulting in lower caloric intake)?
B. Exercise: on Mondays and Thursdays my first workout is at noon and my second workout is at 9pm. Should I also do a 10-20 minute moderate intensity workout first thing when I wake up?
C. Should I do the weight lifting before my first meal?
Thank you for your work!

HK,
I'm thinking you are a female so...

Brandon,
The kinds of proteins and foods you should eat are listed here
Look at the best supplements for info on MRP but any MRP is OK and to help you better...
It would help ME & you if you sent me an idea of what your meals may look like along with how many calories and protein is in each meal and your weight & height but basically...
Stick to these foods and eat the amount of protein you're supposed to eat in each meal
Just in case you did not read my e mail yet heres what i said
"Ok, i have everything down but i just need an example on how i should eat my 5 meals a day, well i plan on eating four like 1 morning 1 for school lunch 1 when i get home from school and one for dinner.
I just need what should i eat for breakfest, lunch, after school later lunch, and dinner.
what proteins and meal replacements should i eat and how often should i eat them? Unless its healthy to eat a MRP everyday. I just want a professional example on how i should do it so i do not mess up you know?
And im following the http://www.nowloss.com/burn-fat-...t-same-
time.htm
Hope You Can Help! :D"

quartz,
See "The 5 most important muscle building foods & supplements..." for more info but...
Take 5-to-10 grams of creatine after both of your Monday & thursday workouts and...
Take up to 20 grams of glutamine daily (10 grams in morning and 10 in evening) but if you have protein supplements like shakes - you don't have to worry about extra glutamine supplementation
ray,
5-to-7 times a week may be too much for HIIT training and I usually only recommend 3-to-4 times a week 1-to-2 times daily but...
If YOU & YOUR body can take it - go for it (I myself can only do a MAX of 4-to-5 times a week) but you need to ask yourself this...
"How really intense is the workout I'm doing if I can do it 7 times a week!?" and...
As for treadmill, running or bike - it doesn't matter and neither is better than the other but what does matter is...
How much intensity you put into it so basically - the best one between running or a bike is the one you put the most intensity into and...
NEVER apologize for asking questions that are going to make you LOOK GOOD NAKED!
Hi, its ray again
I'm currently 5'10", 165 pounds, and waist line 36 inches. I want to reduce my waist to 30 inches in shortest time possible (say, 1 month). Is that even possible?
I'm still 20 years old and my friends often tell me that I have a lot of stamina. In fact, yes I do have it and ready to do HIIT (I used do 1 min sprint, 1 min jog). My workout plan is doing HIIT for 30 min, 2 times a day, 5-7 times a week. Is that good or simply foolish?
and since its winter, I want to stay indoor and I use stationary bike for HIIT since treadmill doesn't allow me to change pace quickly. Which one is better, running on the ground or using the bike? is there any difference?
sorry for many questions and thanks a lot

ray,
It's best to do on empty stomach to burn more fat but you really only need to employ this strategy when you're trying to lose your last 5-to-1o pounds of stubborn fat
Hi, would like to say I'm happy to come across your site.I decided to give your workout program a try.
What I don't know is about the morning exercises. Are they supposed to be done in empty stomach? I often read that doing aerobic exercise is better to do in empty stomach or at least drink protein shake before workout to minimize muscle loss and promote more fat loss.
Many thanks

Frank,
What you're doing is fine and you need to realize that losing your last 10 pounds takes longer than losing your first 30 and the only other thing I'd recommend you do is try this weight loss plan here to lose your last 3 pounds
Hi, I'm 5'8" and about 135lbs. I lost about 35-40lbs of flab in the last 8 months and I'm now pretty happy with muscle tone (but could always get bigger of course!).
Last tidbit: loosing the 2-3lbs of flab covering the lower part of my abs... I train with weights 4 times a week + 3 days of interval cardio + I try to incorporate 15-20 minute bodyweight/medicine ball workouts mornings or nights when I can, and I cycle on and off carbs with my weight training days.
Anything else I could do?
Many thanks.

Cal,
Keep doing what you did to get the almost perfect body you have now but
Eat a certain amount of calories to maintain your weight until about 2-to-3 months before your wedding and then...
You can go on this weight loss plan here to lose that last bit of fat while maintaining muscle so you can get closer & closer to a perfect body but for now...
Go here and look at the 3 links in the upper left dealing with midsection to help slim down
or make your waist look slimmer
Clever_champ_richy,
Yes - tae-bo really works and you don't need diet pills to lose weight unless you're someone who is not overweight that is trying to lose weight
adilmalik_1204,
It's not a bad thing to have diet pills but at your age & weight - you really don't need them and to get a flat stomach...
Try this workout plan here while
eating 1500-to-2000 calories of these weight foods and...
Do this easy exercise plan for flat abs
