Ok I HATE water is it ok if I drink crystal light ? or should I just choke down just the HC0 ?...

drink H20 all day... it will curb your appetite as well.

I'd say supplement your water intake with a couple crystal lights... like with a meal or whathaveyou but not crystal light all day.

How are you tracking this to be sure you are gaining lean body mass (LMB) and losing body fat?

Proper Nutrition, Weight Training & Cardio can all increase your metabolism. It's pretty obvious your issue is with diet though. All the cardio is the world will not make up for a poor diet.

I also did the FATAL flaw of no breakfast when I was just starting out, also I did not eat greens. I did not eat ANPB, misc nuts because I thought they had too much Fat. This is where you gotta rewire your brain. You gotta EAT in order to loose weight. Ignoring breakfast is like saying, I'm going to let my body starve until noon today. If you are in the weight loss game, having a clean diet is at the top of the list. Your cardio routine is just an extention of your diet, not the other way around.

exactly.

Fat is not bad, it's just caloricly dense so the overall calories will sneek up on you.

Healthy fats, such as those from lean steak, fish, eggs, nuts, all natural peanut butter, are great for you and stimulate Testosterone production, lube joints, ect.
