In an article on bb.com this guy wrote this
Metabolism Slow Moderate Fast
(Endomorph) (mesomorph) (Ectomorph)
Lost Fat/ Maintain Muscle 10 11 12
Lose Fat/ Gain Muscle 13 14 15
Gain Muscle 16 17 18
the middle one says to eat 13times your bodyweight (for an edomorph) to lose fat and gain muscle.
I'm just starting to lift, I haven't added or lose anything yet, I'm going to start dieting to lose weight.
I thought that wasn't possible? So if I do that am I going to lose fat and put on muscle?

To lose fat and gain muscle (if possible) you need to do cardio 3-4 times a week and keep your protein intake high, at about 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. I think the best thing to do is experiment a little with your calories and find out!

The body cannot achieve what the mind cannot conceive.

I started BFL "more or less"
10 days ago . I am still working on the diet b/c he doesn't talk about calories/fat/protein, just portions.....and I am eating based on calories/fat/protein/oh and carbs of course.
Also, the workout schedule seemed weak for me on the cardio days since on those days you only do 20 minutes of intensive cardio. and that's it no lifting
. I am no (not even remotely a rookie ) expert, but I "assumed" since I had been working out already 4-6 wks prior to starting BFL, that I didn't want to reduce my workouts.....
But definitely get the book and download the excel spreadsheets from www.bodyforlife.com they are great. I look in the book, see what to work out for what muscle group, how intense it should be and go do my workout.
I am following everything on BFL, like I said, except the cardio days and still working on the meals. I am actually below the calories I should be taking .
