lowering body fat %
 

What are the most effective ways to lower my body fat %?

Diet Diet Diet! and Exercise.

This has been something I really tried with to begin with and to be honest it is easier and harder for certain body types.

Essentially, exercise and careful eating will get you the most of the way, for me I can get down to 15% by being careful and going for a good weights and High Intensity Interval Training Session.

If you want to get the lean 8-12% look you need to really reduce the amount of fat and complex Carbs that you consume.

There is a diet called the slow-carb diet that is good for this (google it) where essentially you eat complex carbs and protein. I started to get on well with this but then fancied a pizza hut..

Essentially eat lots of cereals, beans, eggs and vegetables, eat meat that have lower fat such as beef and chicken brea fillets (no skin) and grill them to reduce the fat more.
Remove the bread and bread items (and even pasta to be really effective) from your diet to make sure you're really getting lean.

I have been jogging and it gets rid of fat.

OMFG mate ur a fuckin retard

Shock of shock horrors, I've actually started thinking about getting on the healthy train. Some recent photos of me have been less than flattering, and whilst I'm not a fan of doing anything energetic, I'm far less of a fan of being a fat cunt, so some covert exercising is required.

I refuse point blank to diet (I eat reasonably well anyway, and in reasonable amounts. Maccy D's is an occasional treat, and the Colonel is only visited about twice a year), although I'll be cutting booze right back (I'm pretty sure I owe my current size to Mr John Smith, and I've been going off booze anyway).

Most of it'll be exercise and slightly cutting down on portion sizes for me. I saw a thing on the One Show a while back about an exercise regime, I wonder if anyone has any more info? Basically, they took two subjects of the same sort of weight and fitness, and whilst one did standard jogging a few times a week, the other did bursts of very high intensity exercise (sprinting for however many seconds followed by a rest, then repeat for about 30 minutes) as regularly. The result was that the second bloke lost a shitload more weight and got fitter over the course of 6 or so weeks.

I asked the gym instructor about fat loss.
He told me to do the interval thing on treadmill with sprints. 5 times. 5 times a week. MINIMUM to start losing fat...

I however have lost fat easier than that..

Fat loss

I would recommend going for a walk as soon as you get out of bed on an empty stomach
also building muscle... metabolically active so burns calories at rest- the more muscle you have the more calories you can burn laid in bed

Agree with Reflex - building more muscle and preventing muscle deterioration (by eating correctly etc) allows you to lose a lot more fat. That's how I've lost mine.

You probably want to google Charles Poliquin - he's American, but most of what he writes about is based on primary research so has some real-world stuff to it and not hearsay.

Please dont take notice of Charles Poliquin...does he practise what he preaches:

For fat loss- low(near zero carb) diet for 5-6 days a week, then a carb only meal

Carbs are the ONLY nutrient humans can survive well without, they are only sugar, and only fuel!
Fat and Protein is used for so many processes in the body, it's uniwse to restrict them too much

Low intensity exercise like walking mobalises fat burning on an empty stomach
also if you go running instead you`ll probably end up feeling ill when your blood sugar level crashes from having no food inside you
