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.

That would be over a pound of fat in a week. Insert some cardio into your training. Maybe 2-3 30min. sessions a week to start then increase when you feel comfortable. -------------- Contrary to popular belief, bouncing the weight does NOT work the muscle...huh...who\'d a thunk it. ~Dick

To be on the safer side, I would even reduce that # to about 200-300 cals. per week. Never make such huge drops in your calories, you could end up sacrificing more than you would have liked (muscle)
