Weight lifting will do more to help you lose fat than cardio - the benefits of EPOC, the effects on your metabolism, and not to mention it'll help you retain as much lean mass as possible. Given the...
Carbs are best suited for early in the day, or before and after your workout. If you workout in the evening then carbs before/after probably won't be too detrimental. Veggies are great with every...
Having been the 'fat kid' all my life, I didn't want to be stuck with that label at university either. In december of last year I told myself I only have about 10 months to get myself in shape. So...
You aren't eating nearly enough. Your breakfast and the shake don't really count as meals - so you're more or less getting everything from 2 meals. Even if those 2 meals are large enough to make sure...

40lbs of fat can't be lost in a month. Well. Not unless you weighed about 1000lbs :P To be honest - at least 5 months would be a more realistic timescale. That would be 8lbs a month / 2lbs a week -...
20% body fat to 10% bodyfat in one month? Not happening. And 5 hours a day of cardio will put you in such a caloric deficit that you'd probably end up even fatter than you were before.
You only work chest & delts? You really should be hitting all the large muscle groups - legs, back, chest, shoulders. Start squatting, deadlifting and doing bent over rows in addition to chest press...
Hi everyone, recently I've started doing HIIT two/three (I alternate each week) times a week and I've decided to start swimming on one of these days as opposed to the same old running routine.
