Okay guys, I'm new to this site! I have tried some different diet and work out combinations but none seem to work that well for me. I know a few trainers, but quite frankly they just don't seem to have their heart in it. I'm looking for a diet and exercise program that drops body fat! Can anyone help?! I'm trying to target my stomach, love handles, chest, and face! lol Thanks!

Carb cycling is whats working for me but don't expect it to all come off over night.

How I cycle is I do 2 days High Fats keeping each meal around 40% to 50% no lower the 40% and protein stays the same of a 1 x body weight up to 1.5 x body weight.

I don't count the greens I eat but it wouldn't be much in carbs or calories.

I use Natural Peanut Butter, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Flax Meal, Egg Yolks 2 per meal, Avocado's and Cheese! Yes I said cheese!

Cheese has Protein and fats and if you look for good real cheese you can find stuff like Swiss with only 4g fat and only 2 in Saturated! I have seen lower but I want a bit more to aid in getting my fats in.

The 3rd day I Carb up around 1.5 my body weight.

I carb up on Oats, Good Bread, Wheat Pasta, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice, Beans, Strawberries, Bananas, Apples and Pears!

I do not worry about my PWO with Carbs because this is my free window and this is a ok time to carb any and every time you lift hard.

You can on your lifting days if needed eat a regular meal of 40 30 30 Protein Carbs and Fats after your workout and PWO Shakes and also have like a banana prior to lifting if needed.

I have no issues going no carbs for 2 days but some can't and need the carbs so this is why the pre banana and post meal of 40 30 30 comes into play.

High Fat days my intake is low to about 10x my body weight no lower but maybe a tad higher.

Carb up days I eat normal maintenance or a tad lower.
