Any ideas for supplements? only he suffers from high blood pressure? He is already on a 'no carbs after 5' diet and doing cardio workouts every sat/sun morning plus gym sessions in the week. cheers for any help. |

To do this you've got to have a fantastic diet, really strict and even then its not easy for everyone. I've got a mate who is 6ft 1, 12 stone, 6% bf, fit as f*k and he still hasn't got abs on show, its just not easy for him whatever he does. He's tried ECA, and lost body fat bigtime but still cannot see his abs! Everyone is different. Wouldn't recommend ECA if he's got high blood pressure, all I can suggest is train damn hard and heavy, no cheat meals, low intensity cardio and perhaps try some natural diuretics, like vitamin c, cider vinegar, kelp, Soya Lecithin and vitamin B6 which aids fat metabolism. The diuretics help get rid of excess water which may help in the appearance of the muscles. No quick fix really, but hope it helps gailx ______________________ Oh yes.........it WILL be mine! |

This also mean the heart has to work very hard so it could cause problems with his high blood pressure. Like Gail said the best way to do it is train hard with the weights and cardio (doiung Abs in 2 small sessions a week) but most importantly he will need to clean the diet up. |

Brewers yeast good too, and dirt cheap. gailx ______________________ Oh yes.........it WILL be mine! |

I've been using our Lean-R product without any ill effect and in the morning before going to get my blood monitored and it has had no effect on my BP. take a look at http://www.extreme-nutrition.co.uk/p...nts/Lean-R.php |

After 2pm do not eat any more carbs, what you want to do is ensure that you have a further 3 or 4 meals after this with just protein. My cutting diet is basically in the morning 2 meals with: White fish / Tuna with 65g of brown rice. After 12pm I do not touch carbs and eat the following through the day: Tins of tuna White fish Red fish during weekends Chicken Breasts Turkey breasts Steak (LEAN) Mince meat (Extra LEAN) These are the staples of a good cutting diet. Having lost so much weight over the past 18 months i have excess skin. Hope this helps ______________________ "Living life at 18stone 10lbs is painful. Losing weight is a challenge.
