[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8427751, member: 664761"] Oh man... Watching people talk about weight lifting and losing weight and what have you. From what it looks like, you are trying to build muscle over losing weight? I can't really help you there bud because I'm not into the whole muscle building thing. What I can say is dieting is very important (for losing weight and building muscle), I'd say more important than any supplement. But I'm not in my 40's to say that is 100% true. When I was 18 I was in the 240-260 range, and I'm only 5-8. I tried going to a trainer because I simply felt uncomfortable in my body. The trainer said he will only train people who are strict to his diet and I had to send a pic of everything I ate. Well, I was pretty good for a weak, but one splurge turned into another, and to make things short, he dropped me after about 3 weeks. After than, I just started eating better and regular exercise. I don't eat like I should, but I eat better than I did and much more healthy with some general exercise and I'm now 23 and down to 155-160 steady. I just know diet, especially in terms of weight loss and being overall fit, is probably more important the the physical work put in, albeit the physical work is important too. You just can't really expect to be healthy if your working out to make up for the greasy burger you ate. You have to get the greasy burger out of the diet for good (or down to a few times a year) to really do it right. Lots of greens and water always helps. Fat also isn't bad for a diet if you are active and trying to burn fat, carbs (not good carbs like in most bread and pasta, I like using vegi pasta myself) are no goes. This is just the little I know about losing weight and being healthy.
