Losing Last Amount of Body Fat

tinman1412 Posts: 19 Joined: 2004/08/17	2004/10/14, 04:47 PM Hi All, I started my fat loss program a little over 2 months ago and have gone from 15% to 12% body fat. My goal is to get to around 9%. I've achieved this by doing a lot of cardio first thing in the morning(4-5 times a week) and doing weight training(2-3 times a week) along with a clean nutrition. I'm constantly reading and researching on ways to efficiently achieve my goal. For the past few weeks, I feel like I've hit a plateau, so I would like to get some suggestions. I'm already cycling my cardio and weight training, but should I also cycle my diet. I've read about cycling just carbs, and also about cycling just calories for the week. There's an article on bodybuilding.com that suggests that you should cut the cardio and just strictly weight train if you are a lean person. I consider 12% body fat lean, so should I stop doing my routine? Please help Thanks
