    Cutting quickly wasn't my choice either. Was just putting it out there. The rest was what I did.

    I understand not liking sweets - I have an eight year old that hates ANYTHING sweet - it be fine, but she dislikes greens too. I mentioned that because others read these threads and might think that removing these is necessary. It isn't.

    Post up your results and impression with HIIT added. It will be interesting to see.

    my o/h bodybuilds and he doesnt concentrate on calories. his main priority is protein and carbs unsure why carbs i think he keeps em low, but protein is to keep muscle 2g for each lb of body weight and he has no love handles or flabby bits. hope this helps a little bit:smile:

    Okay so far so good. I lost around 1.5kg and at the same time I am able to lift 2-3kg heavier in every upper body lifting exercise. So I take it that I have not lost any muscles. I took my measurements this morning and went on http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ to calculate my bodyfat and the results are so different!

    First link gives me:
    •Sex: male
    •Weight: 163.4 pounds
    •Wrist: 6.5 inches
    •Waist: 35.82 inches
    •Hip: 38.18 inches
    •Forearm: 10.62 inches
    Based on this information, you have a lean body mass of 122.5 pounds. Your lean body mass includes everything in your body that's not fat. Now that we know your lean body mass, let's find out how much fat you're carrying around. We'll subtract your lean body mass from your weight and find you currently have 40.8 pounds of fat on your body.
    Your body fat percentage is 25%.

    Based on this information, you have a lean body mass of 131.1 pounds. Your lean body mass includes everything in your body that's not fat. Now that we know your lean body mass, let's find out how much fat you're carrying around.

    •Calf: 13.77 inches
    Based on this information, you have a lean body mass of 136 pounds. Your lean body mass includes everything in your body that's not fat.

    I don't think the actual number matters. It's the trend over time which is more important.

    If the number keeps going down which ever method you use consistently, you look and feel better and your lifts are stable then success had arrived.

    Well that is true, I better just save these numbers and then see how they change in 2-4 weeks.
