Last time when I was trying to lose weight, I ate more on protein food and drink whey protein. I was overweight in early 2008. Then on 25 July 2008, I decided to make commitment to accomplish my fitness goal to have six pack abs. That was the 1st day I went to gym to learn about how to lift weights using dumb bell. I went to gym about 1 week to master all the technique and how to hit the muscle correctly. Then I just use dumb bell at home and also introduced cardio in my training day.
If your goal is to have lean muscle and six pack abs, you must have a very clean and strict diet. No fast food or junk food. I stopped during carbonated soft drink ever since. Last time I ate 21 white eggs everyday, chicken breast without skin. Mostly, I ate the steam chicken, if fried I used only Olive oil. Last time, 70% of my food was protein, 20% carbohidrate and 10% fat.
I used ON 100% whey protein powder before and after training to add my protein intake. I also used meal replacement drink, 4life Nutrastart. I went from 75kg to 63kg. It took me a year to get sick pack abs.
Now, I'm so happy I don't have to watch my food intake anymore. I can take more carbohidrate without worrying of getting more weight. Actually the most important thing is not to reduce weight, but more importantly is to reduce our body fat. If you have a high metabolic rate and have more lean muscle, it would be easy for you to burn calories even on your rest day/sleep.
