Well I've tried Instone's Leanfire v2, that worked pretty well for me (though I admit I wasn't doing as much cardio and dieting as I should have), but I still lost a little bit of fat and people said I was looking a little more cut-up. This was a while ago and I'm about to try some hydroxycut hardcore. I've heard people getting good results from the two above as well as Hot-rox, Lipo6, and Scorch ... off the top of my head. It's pretty much the caffeine, green tea, etc. thats in all of them that will help you. I would research the ingredients before buying one though since they could contain stuff that isn't so good for your health and have some pretty scary long-term side effects. Leanfire for example has guggulsterone in it which i was unaware of before take it, then i saw this thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=466547
good luck

thats what i was thinking. but the calipers said i was. so i like to think that i am so when im going down on the calipers i know im getting somewere. so if i lost 6% bf i will be 12% on the calipers, but in reality im 9-10%.
by the way i do add flaver in my food. i try different things every day. today my unity helped me out and we came out with a really nice rosemary and lemon chicken breast with some salad. first time in my 6 weeks of dieting i enjoyed what i was eating. i think its that womens touch.lolthe car u drive doesnt matter what matters is the size of the arm hanging out the window

Yeah, for me my body didn't noticibly change until maybe 2 1/2 weeks into it though it does start working right away.. I wasn't keeping track of weight but I know I didnt lose that much due to my own laziness as stated. I would try it again, just give it some more time, and recheck your body fat after 3 weeks. (you def look less than 18%) ... post new pics too so we can see hah

just to throw my input into the mix. What helped me was a realist goal and finding someone to answer to who is supportive. I'm not talking about a nag, but one particular person who knows your goals and helps you to stick to them. A cheat day doesnt help. Once a week a type of reward is ok, but something that can be worked off. I found I had to stay away from most sugars and starches, limiting fats to good fats and I limit my dairy. I have allot of fibrous veggies, some fruit and my protein is 1+ gram per pound of body weight.
Hows' your cardio ? Working off one meal a day (about 30 mins) helps even itf its to help your heart. It boils down to what YOU want. And find a grpou of people that are a help not a hindrance.

I think alot of us have the same problems with those around us not really helping. Shoot...........I am mostly the one to do the cooking for my wife and kid, so I can be sitting there making her something awesome and have to stick to my crappy boring diet. I cheat though usually one day a week and it keeps my sane. I have alot to lose and was in the worst shape of my life......... what Im getting at is.....if you want it bad enough you will do it. Screw everyone else. Good luck with it man.

Body Building Diet
? The purpose of this diet program is to shred body fat to reveal and or magnify existing or underlying muscle.
? This diet is primarily for six weeks and is to be reviewed weekly according to progress.
? From week one to the end of week two your carb intake should be no more than 120grams per day as a general rule for six days of the week.
On the seventh day [Sunday] you are to carb up, in other words re saturate with carbs. After six days your body should be fairly well depleted.
*When carbing up on the seventh day, it is best to use complex carbs with a low [GI] gluseamic index rating.
Things such as,
? Brown rice
? Brown Bread
? Brown pasta
? Sweet potatoes
*An example of a low card day would look like the following,
9am breakfast- 4 wheetbix in skim milk
Approx 50_60 carbs
12pm lunch- A can of 400gram tuna in spring water. Nothing but lemon and pepper allowed.
3pm ?A protein shake.
5pm-1 banana [before training]
Approx 35grams of carbs.
7pm dinner-Chicken breast, lean meat, fish or turkey grilled with steamed or boiled veggies.
1030 pm-Protein shake before bed. Low carb.
This is only an example and guide. The rule of thumb is to stay below 120 grams of carbs for the day.
Note
? Drink plenty of water
? Drink plenty of green tea
? Take a good multi vitamin
? Eat plenty of protein e.g. fish, chicken, lean meat etc. With chicken be sure not consume the skin.[grilled only]
Consider
? Supplementing with glutamine as it is a muscle sparing agent.
? A fiber supplement.
? Using a thermogenic to raise body temp to burn excess calories and provide energy to training.
From
Week three to week six-your carb intake should be reduced as you progress.
Never go below 70grams a day of carbs, you will end up wasting muscle.
Be sure you carb up on Sunday .Eat plenty of good complex carbs to ensure you refuel your body and don?t burn muscle during the week on your low carb days.
? Do not do more than 30mins of cardio per day. Preferably separate cardio training as to optimize matabolizim .If you can?t do the cardio after your weight training.
? Do not do more than 30mins cardio per day as you will burn muscle mass. Its hard earned muscle!!
Be Aware
Although fruits are generally good for you, they contain fructose. This is naturally occurring Hi [GI ] carb.
This is not recommended on your low carb diet.[Sunday only]
Please keep ray informed as to your progress.
i added some things in there.
ends up like this:
cals: 2100
protein:280
carbs: 120-150g
fats: 30gLast edited by 4evafit; 08-19-2007 at 07:00 AM.

I don't have a crappy boring diet. I eat whatever I want, I just eat plenty of protein and keep portions small. For example, a ping pong ball size scoup of ice cream, or a six ounce steak, four or five potato chips, etc. I never count calories or weigh portions. I try never to get full. If I overeat one meal I make up for it on the next meal, and I go to bed feeling a little hungry.

Dude just cheat already!
Stop listening to a bunch of 150 pound 16 year olds who think that having a 6 pack will finally let them talk to girls who probably dont even realise there as attractive as they are without stumbling over every other word.
Cheat days/meals ARE NOT dangerous, I mean maybe if your hunting down 5% bodyfat. Not doing it is just unrealistic, especially with your mindset. I have a cheat day once a week to reset my leptin levels and fill up all my dried up muscles and guess what, the next day I look even LEANER. Mind you my diet is completely different then yours (alot lower in calories+ALOT stricter) but you have to get into the mindset that
you arendoing this for quick results, your doing this for life. Im not saying be a slob and give in to temptation, but PLANNED cheat days are the most sanity inducing things on earth, not just the days themselves, but just being able to say "if I hold off and keep strong today I can have X food in X days" its nice.
Also, have you thought of switching up your diet? Try a ketogenic Diet maybe? carb cylcing? Maybe you just need a change of pace. Hell bulk for a few weeks get your metabolism real high again then keep at it.
Basically what im saying is dont grind it out for the sake of grinding it out, its not like your competing in 8 weeks. (IM ALSO NOT SAYING JUST GIVE IN GODDAMMIT EVEN IF YOU AGREE TO HAVE A CHEAT DAY DONT FOR ANOTHER WEEK JUST SO YOU KNOW YOUR NOT GIVING IN)"I keep a bottle of testosterone sitting on a triple-layer bench shirt in the back of my gym, but I have yet to see it bench 5 pounds"
