Question for daisygirl

I noticed that you did cardio 5 am/wk on empty stomach to lose bf. On shadow's plan which is what i'm trying to follow it is 3x wk.
I have quite a little bit of tummy fat, and a little bit all over...and want to look muuuch better by may*vacation*! What do you suggest for me?
Thanks!
Cheryl ;)
 
When I was doing cardio 6x week in the AM, I was NOT ONE BIT concerned about muscle loss. I do NOT lose muscle (or fat) easily. Once it is on my body, it takes a lot to get it off (again, both muscle and fat).

I do not, and have not, ever recommended someone follow what *I* do/did, simply because of the difference on body types.

I'm not sure how your diet is - that is going to be the determining factor in quick BF loss. If I were you, I would make VERY sure your diet is high protein, mostly veggies - with the first 2 meals of the day with some starchy carb. I would seriously limit cheat days/meals to about 1-2 meals per week. And even those meals should not be true "cheats", but rather refeeds.

For example, don't "cheat" with cake, ice cream and other crap. Cheat with more quality carb sources - such as breads, pastas.

Training should remain focused on weights - are you doing Shadow's lifting plan? If so, stay on that.

Cardio should be HIIT 3x a week - if you can, do it in the morning and weights in the evening.

That is all I can think of right now, esp since i don't know how many weeks out of vaca you are, or what you are doing for training and diet, or even what the stats are now and where you want them to be. :)
 
Daisy, most of that information is on my daily log.
As far as shadows plan, I can't do it to a t, I don't belong to any gym. Just working out at home w/ cathe fredreich videos (the weights ones) using my barbell and dbells and step. I also have a treadmill so i use it for the cardio.
 
ahhhhhhhhh, now I got it. :)

I am thinking my advice was pretty close to yours though .... isn;t it? We are usually on the same page, or at least the same chapter, with advice ..... except on PWO carbs, lol. :)
