Is weight lifting okay to get into single digit body fat?

I'ma guy that's just above single digit body fat % and i'm trying to get into that low %, my question is should I use weight training in addition to my cardio and low calories diet? Obviously I can't build for mass getting fewer calories in, then I expend but I do NOT want to lose any muscle either I want to basically sustain my muscle mass but reach low body fat %. Also besides the basics of many mealsa day , less cal in then out, whole foods, any additional information to help me get into that low body fat % I would appreiciate. I asked this before and got nothing but "your not fat" awnsers so for clerity I have NO mental problems or eating disorders or any disorders at all this is for something completely different, if I slim down a little I can get a free portfolio made that's ALL. Also my cardio is a 4-5 mile run a day. I get less thatn 2k calories typically a day in 6,7 meals.

Answers: you can continue to weight train but you have to lower the volume and intensity. you are basically lookin to do a maintanance routine to preserve muscle mass while cutting. this is the hardest part of bodybuilding, i have not yet quite mastered it yet, i found that if i cut calories too much, i drop a ton of muscle mass. i had better luck with only a modest cut in calories, and more cardio work..my weight training included working each bodypart 1 time per week, using a compound movement and 2 isolation movements. example- chest workout was bench press, 4 sets for 8-10 reps, followed by flys and crossovers, 3 sets each 10 reps.. as opposed to doing flat and incline press during my bulking phases.. muscle is going to be lost during a cutting phase, the trick is to create just a small calorie deficit to encourage fat burning without muscle loss. the other thing you may want to research is to have 1 day a week where you eat more calories. this is a technique used a lot to help encourage your metabolism to stay up. during dieting, your metabolism tends to slow. by adding a high calorie day once a week, you replenish muscle glycogen stores and bump up your metabolism.

Why do restraurants make such fattening foods?

I had a BK omelette sandwich meal today and when I got home I found out that it contained 70 percent of recommended daily fat intake and was 700 calories alone for just the sandwich. I could almost feel the fat rushing to my body. The people that were eating were all behemoths and I couldn't believe they still eat fast food considering they are so huge. I know BK serves more fatty foods than most restaurants but to be honest I see this stuff happening a lot. Its almost as if the restaurants think that we wouldn't eat their food if its not loaded with butter and sugar. I for one would be more encouraged to eat at a place where there's healthy choices on the menu compared to some place like BK.

Answers: they do that to attract more poeple to encourage them to eat at there fast food places.when they're cooking there food and you're driving by with window down it makes you hungry and want to get something to eat,either it be from BK,Wendy's,McDonald's or Bojangles or any other fast food places.

What can i eat when im trying to control bowel?

I am trying to fix my bowel i have very bad constapation and i know i need fiber.are there certain foods i shouldnt eat?

Answers: Stay away from white flour, white rice, white sugar. Try eating fresh vegetables, fruits, brown rice, beans, whole grain bread and pasta. Drink plenty of water. Good luck.

1) Every women needs 25 grams of fiber;
Every man needs 35.

2) Take 1,000 mg of Calcium to help you poo more often & be sure to take it with 400 mg of Magnesium so you don't get constipated.

3) Healthy oils. Add flaxseed oil, canola oil, ect. to your food and it will line your intestines so the stool flows through easier.

Overall, your bowels should be 'C' or 'S' shapped. If your stools are healthy, then the initial dump should be at least 6 - 7 inches in length and 1 - 2 inches in diameter.

Protein is the major muscle builder if you want to gain weight and put on muscle. If you can add in enough protein by eating more lean meats, you may not have to add things like protein shakes. I like protein bars, as those can be easy to grab for breakfast or a snack.

As part of a balanced diet, any veggies or fruits you like will be good additions. Nuts, low fat dairy (like cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs) are also good. You will probably want to take in a larger percentage from protein than from carbs and fat though, so say maybe 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fat. The normal (non-bodybuilding) percentages are closer to 55% carbs, 30% protein, 15% fat.

I'm having a really hard time gaining weight. I'm probably malnourished.?

In the last 8 months or so, life has been very stressful and busy for the most part... at least up until about 7 or 8 weeks ago. I was only eating once a day, if that. I went from my average healthy weight of 125 lbs (at 5ft 6in. tall) to about 107 in 6 months. In the past two months, I have struggled to improve my eating habbits, but It doesn't seem like I'm having much success. I've gained 5 lbs in 2 months and I still look like a skelaton. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can increase my appetite or ideas on certain foods that will help me put on healthy weight? Key word "Healthy" (meaning junk food is out)

Answers: Start doing some weight training basic exercises.
Squats,deadlift,bent rows,benchpress, shrugs etc
Eat small meals every 3 hours throughout the day.
Stay of the caffeine, drink plenty of water.
Make sure your meals consist of some carbs and protein with
minimal fats.
Listen to your body you should never feel hungry throughout
the day. lf you eat every 3 hours. Eat blenty of fruits, vegies, meats, basmati rice etc. Once you increase your metabolic rate from exercising your appetite will increase. Be patient and dont stress.

Is being 5ft 11in. at 150lbs skinny?

Slim fast is a meal replacer, meaning instead of EATING lunch, you drink it. It is a fairly slow process, it is more of a lifestyle change, because ONLY drinking slimfast will not help in most cases, you have to get up and walk everyday and stuff.

I am obese, really. and I have tried slimfast, it just didnt work for me, I talked to my doctor and he is helping me so if you have a doctor too, just talk to him about weightloss

Both answers depend on you actually... Well, their website can help give you more of an idea.. I use it as a way to start my day off with something decently nutricious and very quick and easy. It's also formulated to make the 190 calories in it keep you fuller longer than 190 calories normally would. How quickly you lose weight depends grealy on how much you exercise and your total calorie intake a day is. Slimfast doesn't melt fat or anything, it simply makes it easier ( for somepeople) to eat less.

Which OTC weight loss supplement is the best in your opinion?

Answers: Most OTC supplements aren't worth the cost of their individual ingredients combined. It's a big ripoff designed to make you feel desperate and incapable of losing weight on your own. But, nothing could be further from the truth.

Look: it's really quite simple; there are only two things you need do to reach your goals:

1. Restrict daily calories to 1600 calories per day. By increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat, you will be able to keep your intake at this level without feeling hungry or uncomfortable.

2. Exercise for one hour a day, every single day. It can be anything from pilates to just plain walking, but do it. One hour. Every day.

This is a pretty simple recipe for weight loss, but it works. It has worked for me; I have lost 62 pounds this way. It will work for you if you commit to it and stick to it.

Good luck!
