Losing fat vs Building muscle

metalgearsingh Posts: 44 Joined: 2003/04/12	2003/04/15, 02:27 PM Hey Im interested in losing the last bit of fat mainly on my stomach and a bit on my thighs! I really want that tonned look with a 6 pac! I already have cuts on my arms and a good chest! I just read somewhere that It is impossible to lose fat whilst building muscle :0 Is that true??? What should I do! Im currently doing weights 2 to 3 times a week and cardio 4 days a week and I consume a lot of protein and very low fat! Will it be better for me to just do cardio and lose the fat before doing weight training? Any suggestions, much help appreciated! Thanks guys!

This will help in gaining lean mass while effectively reducing body fat. Of course, your diet needs to be right on par. And if you have to, do your cardio AFTER weight training. But more preferabley, do cardio on days you do not lift weights. Good luck.
