  • Muscle building

    One year ago i had a dream, a dream where i can go to the beach and be able to take off my shirt to show off a six pack or be able to play strip poker( just kidding), so i started working out like crazy, even though i was getting bigger and stronger in couple months, i was still fat, i was still eating alot and i literally couldn't see any definition... so a month ago i had a dream where i can go to the beac...(u know the rest) so i started atkins, i'm not really fat, i probably had 20 pound extra, thanks to atkins i have lost some weight and now down to 195 stading at 5 10 height(consider that i have been working out for a year so i'm guessing some muscle mass in there) but still having seen any definition on chest and ab area even though there is only a little bit of fat, by the way i take 5 g of creating and 5 g of glutamine just before my daily workouts, so i was wondering if i'm losing muscle mass with the fat, is that possible, i don't wanna turn skinny, i still wanna stay big with no fat... is that possible???

    (here's my diet too: 2 eggs with some cheese, cucumbers and tomato(around at 6), usually a piece of chicken (usually 2 thighs) or occasionaly some veggies just before workout (around at 12), whatever my mom decides to cook maybe chicken maybe meat with some salad (usually 1 small plate full of whatever was cooked and usually with some mayo(at 4 oclock) and finally sometimes half of plate of whatever i ate earlier around 9)... i don't have any details on what i eat but basically that what iit is

    You're lifting weights? I have the exact opposite problem, I have definition and great muscles, even starting to show *through* the layers of flab!

      Cardio is best in the morning due to the depleted storage of glycogen so your body can go right to burning fat .... wait at least 6 hours after cardio to do weight training. It is VERY possible to lose muscle while dieting but if you are doing proper weight training that should NOT be a problem.

        emo boy is on the money. break your workouts into two phases. Do cardio as soon as you wake up - before you eat anything. then do your lifting later in the day.

        Keep in mind that abs will not really begin to show like a 6-pack until your bodyfat falls below 8% for men and 14% for women.

        So, unless you are around 8%, keep focusing on the cardio more than the weights right now.

          What kind of lifting program are you using? What does your split look like?

            Lots of protein will protect you against muscle loss ...

                If you do a search on Hydroxycut here you'll get quite a few threads on or about diet pills and Hydroxycut as well.
