another weights+ cardio question

Canadianguy

Ok for the past month ive been training light and doing 15-20 min of cardio after my workout. My diet could be better, but its still pretty clean.

Ive barely noticed any cutness and i feel sloppy. i feel small and havnt lost any belly fat. Im down 20 lbs from what i used to be, but i use to be much bigger and stronger.

I was a chubby kid, and im having the damndest time losing these love handles. Ive recently purchased Winnstrol to maybe help me lose some fat, but im waiting a while to do it.

ive read here that 1 hour of cardio either 6-8 hrs before or after weights is ideal. now is this every day? or every weight day or like 3 times a week? Ive just ditched the light training, going back to heavy mass, but i still wanna keep the belly fat from accumulating.

So what would be the best way to throw cardio into my workout?

thanks

Post up your diet, I think this is probably a diet-related question. Don't do the winstrol just yet

I began typing what i generally eat in one day and i realized maybe im not strict enough on my portions and i probably eat too much bread, whole wheat bread, but it still has alot of sugar.

Any links to a good easy-to-follow diet? I already get alot of protein in one day, i stay away from bad fats and I generally just eat what is available in my house. plus i work shift work, so my morning, dinner, training etc is always different times

I eat about 2-3 hours. (morning) My day would consists of oatmeal, wholewheat bread w/ peanutbutter and protein hake for breakfast.

Then about 4 eggs + yogurt.

Later on Id eat turkey sandwhich with just bread and turkey then a couple handfulls of unsalted almonds and a protein shake.

Dinner would be a half chicken with some green veggies.

Snack:Banana + 6 rice cakes

Few hours after that ( near bed time): can of tuna

Before bed: Protein shake

Get rid of this meal: 'Snack:Banana + 6 rice cakes ', and less bread in the 3rd meals and I think you could see a lot of change. The carbohydrate in these two adjustments is quite significant, about 150 grams.

Also, add some healthy EFA (essential fatty acids), like 'cold' olive oil, cod liver oil, evening primrose oil. Whole foods include raw cashews, almonds and avocado.

What protein shake are you having before bed?

Nick

Canadianguy

Protein before bed is just a Whey powder ( about 22 grams) mixed with water, nothing special.

As for the EFA's ill definatley try that. And Ill try to knock out alot of my bread.

Nick500

whey and water isn't sufficient. Whey in water will be absorbed (totally) up to a maximum of 3 - 4 hours. After that your body is essentially catabolic (i.e. breaking down muscle).

With whey and milk, this maximum is extended to 6 - 8 hours.

Add skim milk and some healthy EFAS before bed for a more appropriate protein shake.

Ok i will do that nick, thanks, its much appreciated.

So as far as cardio goes, tighten up my diet a little and stick to the 15-20 min after my weights? Or begin doing cardio on separate days for 1 hour?

Nick500

weights four times a week, cardio 1 hour on the other days, if you can handle it, sounds like an OK plan.

Canadianguy

yea i can do it, thnx nick. Ill wait a few weeks and try out the Winny

Nick500

I'd quite like to urge you not to use the winnie, until you have proper PCT in place (nolvadex), and liv52 and.or milk thistle at the bare minimum for on-cycle+pct....
