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.

You need to find and know your maintenenace calories, and then proceed with calorie cuts from there. Guessing will just frustrate you, and makes one think this stuff doesn't work. Good luck to you... -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
