A.S. wont get you in shape, but might help to increase lean mass, thus requiring more calorie debt.The problem is this will work on strict diet.First off, ask yourself how bad you want to get into shape.Remind yourself how better off you would be with a new image and higher self-esteem.This should motivate you to begin on a diet.Start monitoring your caloric intake, and begin dieting on 3250 calories a day, divided by six meals during the day(bro, if getting in shape was easy, everybody would look great).I recommend a low cal, high carb(low glycemic),high protein and moderate fat diet because it is easy to stick to.Ill even go as far as making an example diet(hell, I usually charge for something like this, but I know how it feels to be fat).:
Meal 1
Milkshake:made with 1 liter of fat-free milk and 2 cups of frozen strawberries
1 piece of toast with Philadelphia Fat-Free or Kraft Free cheese
Meal 2
3 8oz. Dannon light yoghurts(any flavor)
1/2 cup of oatmeal(mix it in with the yoghurt if desired)
Meal 3
2 sweet potatoes
2 cups of broccoli(Campell�s frozen is so easy to make)
2 chicken or turkey breasts drizzled with olive oil
Meal 4
2 cans of water-packed tuna(check to see if low fat)
2 cups of cooked artichoke pasta
1/2 avocado
3 tbs. of Kraft Free Mayo
Enough lettuce to make a salad
Meal 5
Milkshake:made with 1 liter of fat free milk and 2 cups of frozen blueberries
Meal 6
Milkshake:made with 1 liter of fat-free milk and 2 cups of orange juice
Presto, this adds up to an approximate 3,250 calories, enough to start a caloric debt to your weight.As for supplements, take 1 gm of Vitamin C with each meal,GugulPlus(Enzymatic Therapy) 3 times a day,and get some Ripped Fuel (Twinlab) from GNC and follow its instructions.Rev up the weight training and start sprinting some 5 minutes around where you live on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.I hope you have the strength to start.Its no easy route, but it will pay off in the long run.Im behind you 100%.Keep me updated with your progress.
P.S.:take a photo of yourself before you start this diet and get a photo of someone you admire or look up to(Arnold?), and remind yourself on paper how bad you want it.Stick both in the mirror in your bathroom to remind and motivate yourself everyday.Go for it!
