I've found it I eat a healthy diet but up the protein, keep the carbs down but ensure you have carbs in your blood during and after training then I lose fat but build muscle quite nicely. Wel thats my aim

any thoughts please. its an interesting topic


Ok

My statement about it being hard to do and making small gains, and one or the other is obviously incorrect. You must know far more then myself. I stand corrected.
think about this man. if you have nothing to begin with (say your really fat and got no muscle) then you can probabely do both at the same time.
the more you have to lose in fat and gain in muscle the easier it becomes.
well thats what i found, i used to be damn fat, 230lb with a bf% of 42
i now weigh (through 7 years or training and consulting a doctor ) 200lb and i got a bf% of 17

yay for me!

Guys who have no training whatsoever and go into can loose body fat and gain muscle, but its nothing extraordinary and no one will bull shit me into believing otherwise.

And your telling me that at 10 years of age you were 230 fucking pounds? Right
