sean 371 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 It sounds like you know what youre doing, but the 4-5 small meals a day, combined with a mere 20 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and eating the right things will get you down quick! 2 other things, eat as early as possible in the morning, and do the HIIT in the morning if possible. I also use the "water diet" too to fill up quicker. If youre in a hurry or need to jack your metabolism, drink a smallish cup of coffee with each good size meal, and your body will burn up that meal a lot quicker.

finkster Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Man, good luck to you. I've started watching what I eat (which is super hard considering I work at a food joint) and started doing basic calisthenics. I'm waiting on getting a gym membership because when I start college, they have an amazing health facility which means more machines than you can shake a stick at. And the best part of all is, it's free since I'll be going to school there Yea man, my bud has a free gym membership w his college and its supposedly reaaly nice and packed with girls....But he never goes...I mean if yourne not gonna go 4 the workout at least go for the chix! Im still working on mine to get them full blown 6 pack Damn man, and u drink alceehol alot so im jealous that your shit stays the same....

Yea ive heard great things with the HIIT, everyone says its def. the way 2 go..I guess ill start doing my workouts earlier then ...Ive also heard that you can work your abs everyday because theyre "special"lol....But ima stick 2 every other day.....Cant build muscle if u dont LET it build rite....

goinpro Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 HIIT is definitly a good way to go...i would stick to doing it only 2-3 times a week and not directly after you work out. If your doing it on you workout days do it in the morning and your workout at night. 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 S HU: AVIC-D2 Fronts: ARC Audio KAR KS6006 Components AA Poly Mids/ CDT CW-19 Tweets in kicks Front Amp: Profile AP400x2 Rear Fill: None Sub: DC LVL 4 (CF Dustcap) x2 (waiting for dustcaps) AMP: RF t10001bd x2 (1400-1500 @ 1 ohm) Wire: Welding Supply/Lighting Audio 1/0 Power/Ground Zero Noise 2.0zn RCA (x2) 260 Amp Iraggi Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 ok its saturday morning and i got a little antsy to update u guys on my progress....Well my starting weight was 167.5 As of this morning it is........ Weighed myself w/out the cam and socks and 163.9.... Not bad for 5 and a half days...huh? But its a bit much for that amount of time...soo...im going to try to stay the same weight until monday so i dont stress my body too much....3 pounds is the maximum weight you should lose in 7 days, so im gonna chill out for a bit...and eat a little more (thanks God) to keep it at this 164 for a bit....so heres basically what i did for the week...I averaged about 1500 calories a day.... My foods consisted of mostly this... WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THIS... AND THIS.... The protein helps to keep my muscle while only losing the fat...it also helped me speed up my metabolism....The water....well i drank about 1000 waters to keep replacing fluids in my body...it really does make a difference! My dinners were of different foods then the ones above of course...like salmon...chicken nuggets, chicken breast...and things like that...i tried to keep it under 250 to 400 calories though... As for workouts....i really targeted my abs this week....lower abs more because i already have definition on the upper abs....leg raises really helped to make them sore lol... i used an excercise ball for most of my crunches and this elastic band...It is very important to add resistance to your workouts to get the best results...I also tried on Wednesday an HIIT workout...All i have 2 say is DAMMMNNN! It kicked my ass! Thanks for mentioning it huys bc i definitely feel that it works...NE how heres the end results after week 1..... flexing non flexing... I dont have much more to lose....maybe 5 pounds if that ....then after that its muscle building time...which means i have to eat alot more Contradicts itself dont ya think lol...but to say the least i am very happy with the results so far and im proud of sticking to my diet...

Dale Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 finkster, be careful that you do not create too much of a calorie deficit or your body will quickly adapt by dropping your metabolism. Another thing, increase the number of times you eat a day from 4 to 6 times. One last thing: Remember that it is near impossible to lose fat and build muscle at the exact same time unless you have a special body type and the genes of a greek god. So you need to lose the fat first (which will result in some muscle loss), then concentrate on the definition. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
