I tried all of those excercise things: "fasted" cardio, HIIT, etc In the end what worked to lose fat was 3 diet rules: (1.) No more than 30 carbs per day 6 days a week. (2.) One day a week is a most-things-go day. That replenishes your carb store and keeps your metabolism up - if you didn't have this, your body will think it's starving and refuse to give up the fat. Plus it's fun! The odd thing is, you find that those bad food cravings go away. Except for White Castles. (3.) The exception to rule #1 is post-workout. I usually have 20g of carbs in the form of POM juice and then slam down a protein shake. The high GI carbs will spike your insulin and jam that high quality liquid protein right into your cells. Feel the burn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:240815 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
