With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

In 11 months I went from 235 pounds to 180 and BF of 26% to 21%. After FT, Less Cardio, eating, eating, eating and eating 5 meals a day, Lifting in reps of 6 to 8, 12 on a warm-ups, High Protein Intake, Less Carbs but not too low about 40% to 45% of my intake and rarely 50%, Eating GOOD CARBS and less sugars also knowledge of GOOD Fats! After 12 weeks I weight 186 pounds and have a BF of 14.5% I'm most likely leaving a few things out but I just wanted to give a big huge THANKS to the folks of FT that helped me learn and I'm guna keep picking your brains too! Also just incase someone wants to flame me for saying I gained muscle while dieting let me just say this! I was eating under 1800 calories day for 11 months and really really over doing cardio. So the muscle is a combination of a few things, muscle memory, a hydrated body, a fed body and lifting heavy (Even if my Heavy is your warm up, it's heavy for me for now!) 11 months ass backwards compared to 12 weeks of doing it right is no comparisons and no turning back for me for I have made a conscious decision to make this my life style and live a healthy, strong and lean life! PS: This dieting thing is pretty easy stuff once learned and done right, no more fustrations and failures!
