Gonna see my abs

lewdog_55 Posts: 383 Joined: 2002/01/23	2003/02/10, 06:09 PM OK I am making the committment and I am going to see them. I can see them pretty good when I flex them but otherwise I cant. I have 13% body fat which would make it about 1-2 inches from my waist to loose so I can see them. As a guess how long would this take??? I know that everyone is different but as a guess how long would it take?? other question is about cardio. I dont want to burn and muscle that I have gained. SO I take it that running in the morning on an empty stomach is not for me?? Cause I would burn muscle then too?? So when should I do my cardio then. and keep in mind I go to school from 8-3:30. ---------------------------- "Imagine what you could do,if you could do what you imagine." _______________________________________ R.I.P.

See, your body is depleted of glycogen, so for the body to make glucose, with the absence of carbs, therefore it should turn to fat to burn to produce needed glucose. I would take in some BCAA's for assurance against it going to muscle tissue first. This way, if the body "sees" a large amount of BCAA's in the bloodstream, it thinks it already has broken down muscle tissue, and starts reverting to fatty acids instead. Your length of time is really dependent on your diet, but with proper training and diet, you are probably looking at six to eight weeks. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!
