CONGRATS dimattia! your story is very inspiring, along with many of the other transformation threads here.
I'm popping my BB.com forum cherry here to ask a question.
I've been wanting to start a process similar to yours for awhile now, I believe I finally have the courage to go through with it.
I need to a) stop smoking b) sign up to a gym c) start eating right
My question is, is the nutrition guide u started on enough for me?
i'm 5'8" weigh about 175 pounds. i've definitely got a nice beer belly but i believe my body responds well when i start working out.
How should i go about this? start eating well right away according to your diet, and do a moderate amount of cardio? or eat well and focus on weights?

i suppose i'm looking to get some lean muscle and work on taking off these layers of lazy fat. i'm just concerned if my goal is to eventually weight lift seriously, should i focus on losing weight first? or not bother and just start eating differently and lift?

I have love handles and a high body fat percentage (17-18%) but I'm also pretty weak. I barely reached my body weight in squats yesterday.
I am REALLY concerned with strength and muscular addition because I want to be stronger and thicker (i have twig arms and I need to box out big guys in basketball)
but I'm also pretty self-conscious of my body fat right now.
Are you telling me that by lifting the way you did and doing intervals you were able to gain muscle AND cut down on body fat?
I'm wondering how to go about this... if I should pursue fat loss before I try to bulk up...
Just wondering what worked for your situation
