The Question:

I would like to lose bodyfat and really don't know which path to take. Should i go low fat,low carb or what? Everything I read contradicts itself. I don't want to lose weight just bodyfat. I am 6' tall and 190 lbs. Please help.


The Answer:

Low carbohydrate diets have been very popular the last 3-4 years. They do work but they are not necessarily healthy or something that you can do for extended periods of time! That is why there is so much contradictory information out there. A great compromise is to eat 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 30% fat. Please check out our nutrition section on the web site. This will explain all the basics for healthy eating. Once your diet is under control you just have to train consistently! I know it sounds simple. But, you still have to do the work. You can’t miss workouts or load up on pizza twice per week. Many people slip up on their diets or skip a workout or two and wonder why they can’t achieve the look they are after. What I am telling you now is beyond the basic realms of health and wellness. If you eat well most of the time and you workout pretty consistently you are definitely better off than most people. And hey, you are 6 feet tall and weigh 190 pounds. You are healthy and many people would die to be like you. But, if you really want to change the way you look, and get ripped, you have to be hardcore. Set a goal, and do everything you can to reach it!
