What kind of diet should I start with?

lwoodard81 · 09-10-2006, 01:26 AM

Hey all I am 5'11" and weigh 230 lbs. I do have alot of muscle ,but its underneath all the fat I have and can't seem to get rid of. My fat is mostly at bottom of my stomach and love handles. I also have quite a bit of fat at bottom part of breast. I can push in about a fingernails length of fat then that is when I hit the muscle. Do I need to gain more muscle then diet or diet then bulk.

I'd say diet straight away, get down to a good comfortable level of fat by dropping your carbs and doing lots of cardio. Get down to that 200lbs mark and then re-evaulate what you want to do, be it bulk up or strip more fat off.

Weights 3 times a week, cardio 3 times a week. Ideally not at the same time. Cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, with protein shake straight after.
