@kojaxkid Hi, try to eat a good protein source and a good carbohydrate at each meal. Good protein source as in chicken, nuts, fish, lean red meat, eggs, milk. Good carbohydrate as in oats, brown rice if you are trying to put on muscle. If you are focusing more on fat loss, go with a more simple carb like an apple. Try to get in as many vegetables as possible, if possible raw and fresh. Do weights 3 times a week and cadio on the opposite days of the week 3 times as well.
so are you saying that you cant improve anymore?
Am not focusing on fat loss am trying to gain muscle and lose fat or just maintain my fat, but for some reason my fat gain is much greater than my muscle gain, could this be becasue i dont sleep enough and my muscle doesnt recover?

NO! Gaining fat has nothing to do with sleep or muscle recovery. I’m sure your muscles are recovering. Lack of sleep can affect that process negatively,..but it will not put fat on you. Fat, is calories that are not burned. Are you sure you’re putting on fat. The way to tell if you’re putting on fat is in the waist measurement. What is your waist measurement doing??
Im only gaining fat on my lower ab but i havnt measured i guess il way myslef and get back to you. Are the machines that predict your fat accurate?
Machines that measure bodyfat do so by methods that only give you an approximation of your bodyfat. BUT, where they’re good is in measuring the increases and decreases. Meaning, that they will show trends downward for loss in bodyfat and upward for gains in bodyfat, but the exact number may not be correct. In other words, the machines are useful in telling you if you’re dieting correctly and losing fat, or eating too much and gaining fat…or staying at the same fat % and not gaining or losing.
Sleep is very important for muscle gain and you should try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. A lot of bodybuilders go through cycles of bulking and cutting. It is very very hard to bulk and cut at the same time. Best thing you can do is pick which one you want to focus on. Bulk for 4 weeks and then afterward cut for 2 weeks, this is standard and helps keep off the fat while maintaining muscle gains. Try not to work the same muscle back to back, most people need 42 hours to recover.

True whey is the best out there. It has the highest protein content I have come across, one 25g serving has 19g of protein. I’ve also tried others, Maximuscle is equally as good but more expensive. One to avoid is Body Fortress from holland and barrat, it tastes foul, doesnt mix well and protein content isn’t great either. If you decide to buy true whey or any other supplements from the myprotein site use this voucher code for 5% off: MP194811
Train hard. Peace!
Very good Steve..thanks for the post. I have always been told that when/if we cut back on calories, the body taps into muscle FIRST for energy. If I am hearing you right, this is false. Please correct me if I am wrong with my understanding. Thanks again.
Now I lose 3.5 lbs of bodyfat per month while appearing more musclar at the same time and I lift weights and do cardio for 1 hour
just order a free trial and the fat just falls off man instantfatburn.wordpress
Actually, peptide bonds are a very terrible form of energy. Fat however isnt. Your body would definitely go to your fat store for energy.
Hi Steve, thank you for all your great advice from this video and many others that I watched. I followed your advice these past 6 months and lost a lot of weight (30 lbs!). I just have a question because I notice some access skin wrinkle-like on the front of my neck (yikes!)…and stop working out b/c I panicked! Please will you give me some explaination on that? P.S: I am 43 years old and did not have any wrinkle on neck before my weight loss.
hi
Ive heard running on a morning before breakfast is good for burning fat as you have no carbs for energy in your system so you use fat as the energy source, however ive also heard that this can use your muscle as energy, could anyone please help me clear this up, because i too would like to gain muscle and loose fat.
Thanks =)
Yes, doing cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast can cause you to burn muscle along with burning fat. The reason is there is not as much carbs present as normal, so you tap into fat sooner, but if you are doing the same duration of workout, the body will start to burn protein also, because the body needs another source to act as a spark to burn the fat. The key is to cut your workout short if you do it first thing in the moring.
can anyone help me? im 5’10″ and i used to weigh 15 stone. i was really really muscular but wasnt happy with my body as i had some fat 2. i started losing weight 2 years ago. i got to 12 and half st i looked great but bcos i was so scared of puttin on weight i watched wot i was eating so much and am now 11 st.ive lost lots of fat and muscle. i want to get back to 12 and a half but im worried i wont look the same at that weight as i did cos il probs put on more fat than muscle. is that likely???
Not as long as you continue to keep lifting weights consistently, intensely, and intelligently. After that adjust your calorie intake accordingly so that you’re not starving but just enough to get you through the day or workout while maintaining that consistent (not huge) calorie deficit, while continuing to do cardio. P.S. Don’t diss me man, i just learn from the best. (Hint Hint Steve) lol
@1stbase7 Keep preaching brother!!!
Steve Rocks, I just did 2 and I will say 2 simple things 1) calorie reduction by 400 2) Increased work out (more activity) and lost 11lbs in 2 months and I am stronger. I have only been working out about 3 months 3-5 days per week. simple concept— works!! TY Steve, and thanks for clearing all the BS out there.
@fishlove73 My pleasure! Keep up the hard work!
this guy goes to my gym hahha
Steve Im only 10st 2 but i want to get my body fat % down to 7%, So I dont have a lot of muscle OK this is tough, will eating one sandwich a day be enough carbs for the day if im still eating a load of vegetables (low calorie food) with my 6 sources of protein throughout the day, all my fats coming from mono saturate fish and whatevers left on the skinless chicken breasts. Is this safe?
