going from 15 to 10 percent was easy. but these last few lbs of fat absolutely will not come off. i don't know what else to do. i'm switching it up all the time, from 40-30-30 to low carb to who knows what. each time i see some results, then they stop. i'm almost ready to try this velocity diet, where you only drink protein shakes for a couple of weeks. is there something i'm missing? i'm doing cardio, counting the misc nutrients, just started an eca stack. i think i have it down, but it won't come off. any suggestions are welcome. this was more my rant than asking for advice, actually, so thanks for reading  .

How many calories are you eating vs. spending.
Oh and what song is that in your sig? I had it stuck in my head when I was lifting today.

i don't know how many calories i burn, i don't keep track (that could be my problem) but i try and get between 1800-2000 a day. i lift, run, and my job i'm on my feet all the time. meh. i'll just keep going at it with all i've got until i get there. screw genetics, i wanna see my abs.
JR0D08, getting down isn't easy, but it isn't complicated either. browse the nutrition and losing fat forum, and you will get more than enough information to keep you busy. as for cardio, it depends. i switch between 20-25 minutes of H.I.I.T, and 30-1 hour of low intensity a few times a week.
oh, and that is from "live for this" by hatebreed, the best music for lifting weights, in my humble opinion.

You will not lose that weight if you are starving yourself.

i was wondering how long it would take before you replied . i'm just kidding, i hear what your saying, but i'm still doubtful of how that will work compared to what i've been doing. it certainly would enable me to eat more, which i guess would make me happy. i've already cut out basically everything that is bad (with the exception of homemade chocolate chip cookies, those i can't resist). i don't eat any fast food, i can't remember the last time i ate something that came in a wrapper, i'm doing ok there. as for the eca stack, i dunno, i'm doubtful of it's effects. i have a high tolerance for all supplements, and i have to take twice the dose (which equals 50 mg ephedrine) to feel anything at all. i figure i paid money for it, i'll stick on it for the recommended six weeks, then just stop taking it for good. i'm gonna keep dieting and switching things up, i'm just frusterated with it all.

I would highly recommend against the ECA stack- speaking from experience. I used this for the same reason years ago and by the end of the cycle I never felt worse- like I was doing something really bad for my body. I had heart palpitations and drove off the road once on it. It's not physically addicting I don't think but mentally you come to rely on it for heavy days. Just some advice . . .

Just eat more. Probably alot more. Follow dans plan and you will be set. The more you eat the higher your metabolism goes. I would think with all that exercise you are getting your body has to be starving!

my buddy took chromium for about 3 months while him and I were working out and he was losing fat and putting on muscle mass...also taking creatine and protein. figured I'd give it a shot too. No...no diabetes

I've got a pretty good diet routine going right now...so I'm not too concerned about that. One thing though...as it is I'm 6'5" 280..I'm a pretty big boy...and by big I don't mean muscle (yet).....Should I not try to bulk up so much now and just worry about toning down and try to lose weight before I pack on a bunch of muscle. Or does it really not matter?

awesome. thanks man. I'm hoping this sh!t works for me. I'm just worried that I'm gonna swell up and look like an umpa lumpa. I got kind of a beer gut right now...and creatine helped me stop drinking beer(except on saturday). I guess we'll just wait and see. Hey also, as it is I'm working out 6 days a week. mon, wed, fri I'm doing arms and chest
tues, thurs, sun - I'm doing back, shoulders, legs. 6 days a week cardio and 5-6 abs....too much? I was talking to some other people and they said they lift 6 days a week but only hit the same body part once a week. That just doesn't seem right to me. you got any input? Thanks for your help
