Probably the most important factor is gonna be diet. Watch the carbs, particularly at night. Keep sugar to an absolute min (OK to have some right after training)

Also it would probably help to do your cardio at a different time rather than trying for a 2hr lifting/treadmill marathon.

With good diet and consistent cardio, just about anybody that's dedicated to the task can get under 10% BF. Dont get discouraged if it takes two or more months, though.

Anyone else care to share their cutting tips?

take lot of Protein (about 3g/kg)
as less you can do carbohydrates and take instead mct-oil ( it has the same kalories than normal fat but couldn�t get stored, for energie it works the same as carbos, it has double calories that carbos have)

im doing a zero carb diet right now and fuck what people say about losing muscle mass, if you eat lots and train heavy as well as not as often, you will gain size if your anything like me.

but to make sure you grow and lean up, try taking the e/c/a stack in the morning. i know you said no drugs but its all legal and it helps quite a bit, then go to the gym and do an hour of moderate intensity jogging on the treadmill. do this on days you DONT workout, or work out later in the evening.

i would workout on different days than the cardio. after the cardio go home and eat low carb all day with plenty of water. on workout days, eat a small amount of carbs before your workout, ie oatmeal, or some fruit. when your finished the workout come home and eat a very big meal high in protien, carbs, and fiber, low in fat, then after that all your meals throughout the day are no carbs.

just a suggestion, it worked very well for me.

go up and read big dawgs post. your right...the media is now telling us that low fat is good. have you noticed the obesity epidemic in the last decade??? people are rushing out to but low fat products thinking they are doing good but they are having insulin problems and becomming lazy and lethargic, through no fault of they're own really. read the research, it has been proven that low carb works. eat a meal for breakfast...trust me, try this- try cereal with skim mils, low fat toast with jam, a banana, and a tall glass of juice, note how you feel afterwards...then the next morning try a meal with no carbs, see how you feel then.

the carbs are sugar in complex forms. the body breaks them all bown into glucose, or lactose...your pancreas secretes insulin and it grabs the carbs and stores then in your liver and muscles to reserves of dormant energy. they can only hold so much though.

when they are full, there is nowhere to put them, there is no way in hell you will burn them off. they are stored as fat. plain and simple

low carb diets convert your bodys metabolic system to using ketones which are a by product of lipids. if your not eating carbs and your eating fat...what will be stored??? nothing, there are no carbs to cause a huge insulin release and store as fat as well as make you tired, lazy, and stupid... carbs in excess cause a high risk of diabetes.

just try it out...
