I reckon I need to lose approx 1.5 - 2st of bodyfat to be fairly cut. How do you guys cycle your diets to achieve this i.e. I want more muscle but with better definition. How should I run my diets? Should I cut up for say 8 weeks first and then start a bulk or should I do the other way round? I'm sure I can't do both at the same time because my diet will need to be different for each...
Have you any sample diets of how to build muscle but tone up at same time? I assume this would be high protein foods with only certain types of carbs at certain times?
Not sure where to post this one so its in here for now...

You cant bulk and cut at the same time no,lol.Your'e 15 stone at 20 so im assuming you're already a pretty big lad with a good bulky frame to build on.Take a look at yourself in the mirror and if you can genuinely admit to yourself that you have some exess fat to lose then then i would suggest trimming that and begin to build the muscles underneath.That you can do at the same time and hopefuly you will reap both the rewards.Keep your carb intake for only when you really need it i.e. breakfast and post workout.Keep calories and fats at a low and maintain a steady drip feed of protein to your muscles for synthesis.It takes a very long time to build muscle so make sure in your mind that you're in this for the long haul.Set the goals in months,nothing happens in weeks in this lifestyle.Whats your diet and training like at the mo?
