Hello,
I currently weight 122 lbs and have 19.5% body fat.
My goal is to reduced my body fat to 10%. I have recently purchased 100% Whey by CytoSport (creators of Muscle Milk) and it has a great taste (vanilla, 6lbs). I shally take it after my workout, but sometimes I take it before and after my workout.
I was wondering if any of you take it too and have any comments on it.

    i have used it, and the chocolate flavor. they arent too bad - i usually make a big shake in the morning with it + greek yogurt, milk, fruit, etc. sometimes i mix half a scoop in some oatmeal, with other flavorings.
    im not a big fan of it mixed plain with milk but will do it if i have to. i recently bought some chocolate Optimum Nutrition and its way better than cytosport, but has a higher price tage

    It's a good protein powder, but it's just a supplement. But understand it will help you get protein in your diet, but it won't help you lose fat or anything.

    But how tall are you?

    Considering you are almost borderline underweight, have you ever considered you aren't getting results because you don't have enough muscle?

    It may be beneficial to look into a slow bulk if you are afraid of gaining too much fat. A solid heavy lifting routine would be beneficial (preferably, I like a hypertrophy style). But I would agree with your training in some aspects, but just not the time frame.

    Well, my goal is to build lean muscle and have abs (like every other guy) mostly because I'm trying to work for a modeling company.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say your trainer probably thinks you lack lbm and shouldn't be losing weight. I would agree with that. The time frame is something else. That is up to you but you should still do it.

    You are already thin. You say you are somehow 20% bf, if that is somehow true then getting to 10% would either make you look completely emaciated or land you in the hospital even before you get there.

    Also, can you post a picture because I'm having a really hard time seeing how you are 19.5% at 122 lbs.

    Yeah, I'll post a picture in a bit (before I go to the gym).

    Well you can't have abs if you don't have muscle. And if you want to build muscle,then you need a progressive lifting program and a surplus.
