Trouble with Fat Loss

- Start date
BTW I'm 5'5" 175lbs 20% BF
Thanks I stick with this adderllin and drop my cals down to 1500 and see what happens......but I'll look into the Hydroxycut Pro
IMHO, many people just need fewer calories when they're trying to drop their last fatty areas... Sometimes the simplest answer is the best. Just eat less. Lots less.
More cardio will wear you out and hinder your weight workouts (which are the most important workouts while going hypocaloric).
And don't forget... Many (most?) keto friendly foods are high in fat (of course). A slightly larger handful say, of nuts, than the listed serving size can add a lot of calories over many "meals". If I don't weigh my high fat foods, exactly, I often find myself over eating by as many as 200kcal/day. That can break an attempt at keto.

At your weight and at 20% body fat, you don't need to be that low in cals to lean up. I'd bump that cals up to about 250-260grams of protein and about 150g of fat (assuming you want to keto). At those ratios, you'll lean up as long as you stick to it. Just keep in mind, the road from 20% to sub 10% (just making an assumption on where you want to be at the end) is a long road. It doesn't happen fast without losing a lot of muscle even if you're pounding a bunch of gear. How long have you been on your current diet? What was your weight and BF% when you started the diet?

the mnore muscle you put on the more calories you will burn just in genral fromsitting to working out.
so i would say focuse mor eon mass while eatign well THEN go for more fatloss as you will have more resulte the higher amount of muscleyou have.
not a fix but a tip anyway ;-)
