over 50 women: build muscle and fat loss
I am 54, post-menapausal and have been lifting for 12 months. I am addicted to both the workouts and the results. I am very competitive and work diligently at becoming stronger. (I can do pull-ups, chin-ups, unassisted dips etc) But diet is a problem for me. I eat clean (6 meals per day), count calories (1200-1500/day) and am careful with monitoring proper protein intake and carb consumption. I am having a problem getting leaner. I only do cardio once per week (it bores me but I do keep my heart rate down so not to burn muscle). I lift 5-6 days per week (yes, I have been told to take a day off) and do yoga 3 days per week. I'm 5'5'' and weigh 130 lbs. I take multi-vitamins, CLA, omega 3's, L-carnitine, glutamine, and kre-alkalyn. I cycle on and off Jack3d. I am at 25% body fat and just can't get the number down. Any suggestions from someone who understands an older woman's physiology?
