cutting questions

[wannabeBB]

Ok, be patient with me for asking so many questions- I'm new to all this. I really need to get my bodyfat down and I have a few more questions. I've heard so many different things.

1) When doing cardio- which is better long duration, low intensity or short duration, high intensity?
2) Does running cause you to lose muscle or prevent you from gaining muscle? Is walking better than running for this reason?
3) when cutting, do ,most typically eliminate cheat days or cheat meal?
4) Is red meat ok? (like top round and london broil)
5)" A fat is a fat, whether it's healthy or not. And will make you fat. So you shouldnt have flax seed oil and other fats" ??? (Heard this one from Keith Klein, Labrada's nutritionist.)
6) should I eliminate salmon because of the fat content?
7) here's on I'm really confused on- You need carbs to build muscle, right? So why try low carb diets?

Thanks Spatts!
I'm glad to hear some of these answers. I think I'm gonna go with what you and everyone else here has been saying. (as opposed to that labrada diet)

I hear so many different things from different message boards. Maybe I should just hang out here.

One more question- Does taking an ECA stack cause you to gain back everything you lost once you stop taking them?
Will you gain less muscle than if you didnt take them?

are you going to be taking a product that simulates the stack (i.e., hydroxicut) or are you going to make your own ECA?

Well, I have taken xenedrine before and it did nothing (even with a clean diet) so I will probably try other products.
Is a homemade ECA stack more effective?

 

[nikkita]

ECA stack (when you make it) may probe to be effective, but in particular I don't like very much results... not because of bad fat loss, but rather because it makes me feel weak and not very muscular.

I would probably go more with clen, because it helps me with fat loss and it is anticatabolic (meaning that helps you keep muscle).

Needless to say that you need to take care of your diet while in ECA or clen, because reboud is prone to happen if you overlook it.

I've seen clen mentioned here but I have no idea what it is. How does it work?
Can I get it off the net?

Do a search on "clen" and "Warlobo" as the author -- there's some good threads on clen (clenbuteral) and other supps. Clen is a prescription drug not available just over the internet -- or don't trust some website that sells it because you'll prob get scammed. Personally I dont' think clen works any better than any ECA or NYC stack. It makes me jittery as shit and then I get a headache -- sort of like a 4 hour panic attack.

 

[nikkita]

In my opinion, though clen, ECA and NYC works for fat burning they have different effects on different people.

 

[wannabeBB]

Yep, I've considered it. And it's probably what I'm gonna have to do. I tried it last year and failed. Worked out hard and ate clean and so no results. So I quit and gave up. The result- I got a fat a$$. So I guess maintaining is better than being fat. This time around I'm trying to be more patient and give it more time.
I really think yo-yo dieting screwed me up

I'm gonna have to do it without pills. Because ECA's do absolutely nothing for me. Very weird I know.
And there's no way my doc will give me anything. Already tried that. Begged and pleaded. Even though I fall into the overweight range, he wont give it to me unless I am 30 pounds over the highest weight in "overweight" range. Which means I would have to be over 200 lbs and I've never been that big.

Well, I'm going to start counting cals and doing ratios next week. Taking all the advice given to me in my earlier thread. I'll just have to wait and see how it goes.....
