just dont overdue the protein. u dont need as much as reccomended, remember the company is only trying to sell the product so theyre gonna reccomend alot more then u need. also if u overdue protein ur body can and will store the protein as energy thuse making u fatter. so be careful at how much u take, i think theres a bunch of calculators online to calculate how much protein u will need to hit ur goals. |
True, well right now I'm really just taking it so that I can get enough protien in me so as not to lose muscle while I'm trying to cut. Like Masonious said, I'm trying to get around 1 gram per pound of body weight. It's also good for a quick protien boost after hitting the weights.
Anyone have some good cardio exercise reccomendations for trying to cut? I've been running around 30-60 minutes, 4 or 5 times a week. I do it when it's warm out so that I can really work up a sweat, plus I try to do it in the early afternoon or morning when I haven't eaten much prior, so that my body is forced to go into its fat stores. I've also been told that hitting the weights for 20-30 minutes prior to running will burn your glucose, leaving your body with nothing but fat to consume for the run. If anyone has some more good advice to add, I'm all ears! |

Cardio will most likely cause muscle loss :/
walk on a 15% incline @ 2.3 - 2.7 miles per hour for 35 - 45 minutes. You will burn 500 calories or so and maintain your muscle mass. Try keeping your bpm's around 120, much higher and you're entering the cardio realm.
you should aim for losing 1 to 1.5 pounds per week at most, any faster than that and you're most likely losing muscle. I'm cutting right now as well, at times it seems infuriatingly slow doing it the right way, but I worked too hard for the muscle I have to lose it to my own impatience. |

Will I still lose muscle even though I'm lifting weights too?
Honestly, it's not just about the cutting, I also want to be in extraordinary physical shape. |

I call those vampire situps. Because 9 out of 10 healthy vampires reccommend this exercise. |

as long as you're supplying your body with enough protein and nutrients and balancing that intake with proper, muscle-building exercises, you will continue to see gains. It will take a long time to figure out how much you should be eating to gain muscle mass and not too much fat. To do what you want, however, will take a lot of time. It's a lot easier (at least for me) to gain a ton of weight working out and eating ( gain fat and muscle) then cut the fat. But then you're fat for a while which is pretty crappy. |
