   There are so many good reducing diet books out there, why don’t you invest in one?
   To lose 1lb mass you need to avoid eating or exercise 3,500 calories worth. Sounds like you’re doing plenty of exercise, so look to your diet, avoid fast foods, cook from scratch, get your 5 a day fruit and veg. Cut out alcohol. You should be fine, remember it took ages to put the weight on, you can’t expect to lose it overnight.

   paitence!!!!!wow you have done really well so just hang on and in another 4-8 weeks you will see the difference
   it took me 12 weeks remember you will be burning more cals now so restricting your diet will just make your body go into starvation mode and hold on to your food cals longer i suggest you eat more and you will see a difference,remember muscle weighs more than fat and you see yourself every day and dont see the change as much!

   700 calories a session would not be unreasonable if you were a male trying to lose weight i suppose, what i would recommend would be to amp up your protein intake, and disregard the number on the scale. Also, a month might not even be long enough. Try waiting for another month– to build visible muscles would take longer than simply losing weight, because to see the muscles you have to burn the fat first!

   Fish is almost pure protein, some with beneifts of Omega 3 fatty acids (salmon, tuna, other “oily”) fish. Otherwise, most whtie fish and shell fish have little to no fat. Egg whites are also pure protein. Of course there are always protein supplements (whey powder). Don’t forget the carbs pre-workout though because you sound like you’re fairly intense. Don’t worry– they’ll get burned off immediately, especially with cardio, but they’ll help you get a more vigorous workout in the long run, perhaps even help you work out even longer.

   This is gross, but i sort of like squid. (now that is practically PURE protein). throw it on the grill for a minute, put some rice vinegar over it in a salad, and you don’t even think it used to have 6 legs.

   in addition, rapid cardio or lots of quickie reps on weights will not necessarily add to definition. they will mostly burn fat.

   For muscle growth you need a couple of things.
   3 times a week is fine but they need to be high weight/low reps. something that really pushes you.
   they then need at least a day of rest to repair
   and to repair and gain mass they need available protein so make sure you have a decent source in your diet (meat is the most common)
   For weight loss you need to control your calorie intake, start with 1,500 a day and adjust it from there (going too low will affect your muscle gain attempts so be careful)

   1h a day is an awesome result, regardless of whether you lost weight or not. You heart and lungs are probably loving that! Wicked, well done mate.

   Know your fats, good fats vs bad fats. Fish and oliveoil are good fats, other meat and trans fats are bad. Eat as little of the 2nd category as you can and plenty fo the 1st.

   Don’t follow fad diets, they’re a waste of time and money.

   Don’t miss breakfast, if you go hungry in the morning you’re more likely to eat crap at 11’s

   Eat more fibre, makes you feel fuller and decreases your risks of bowl cancer massively.

   Go for whole foods, whole grain breads and pasta (yes I like that stuff). Don’t go for the half half loafs as seen on tv. they’re waste of time. If you realy don’t like wholemeal breads then you’re on the wrong type, bakery wholemeal or homemade (breadmaker) is wicked.

   Cook fresh, with lots of veg… shop bought source is not so evil though and it’s a happy, timesaving comprimise if you’re very busy but check what’s in it first.

   Limit the portions, but not too much, remember don’t starve youself but don’t supersize.

   READ THE SPONSOR ATTEMPT BELOW AND LAUGH, JUST AFTER I WROTE IGNOR THE FAD DIETS! LOL…

   I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 19 inches in 9 days. I continued and lost 29 pounds in a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc…. These toxins enter our bodies and get stored in our fat cells. To shrink the fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. My skin has improved from the cleansing. It is pricey but worth it! I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Call the toll free 1-877-587-4647 Give it a try and good luck!
