Im back :( Cutting help please

**jiza101** · 08-01-2005, 04:37 AM

Well, i have been on anti-biotics for the past 2 months. I decided to stop gym while i got settled in (severe effects from the drug) So its been 2 months, and i decided to get back into the gym today. As expected my lifts were garbage, and so on. I have never been "cut" but i would love to be, the thing is i don't have that much muscle mass on me, and i would still like to cut, then bulk, since my BF is anywhere from 20-28%.

Few questions:
I will be doing cardio on the bike 3 times a week, and gym 3 times a week.
With the cardio, should i do it before or after dinner, since i will be doing it in the evening on the days i don't workout.

How long should i ride the bike for ?? HIIT or slower 30 min time ??

How important is it to count calories, since i never have, but since i want to cut, is it imperative, or should i just make sure i get a lot of protein, and stop eating junk food, not that i eat that much.

Also, with my diet, im not sure whether i eat to much or to little for my weight, since i hardly feel "hungry" and havn't for a while. You can see a pic of me in the IMPC forum here, which is from a while back, i am still a bit chubby, and want to get cut up, again i have never been cut and i want to have the feeling of that body type :nosthumbs

Any other advice or questions i would love, in the gym today, it was like climbing a huge wall, since i hadn't done gym for so long

cardio in the morning before eating

i never count my cals, just try eating with moderation

im guessing slower cardio as it is more likely to jsut burn fats

eat 6 times a day with small meals, each weak try to reduce what you eat by a little.

i prefer low intensity cardio in the morning before eating (30-45 minutes) to burn as much fat as possible with as little muscle wastage as possible.

um, that would be after at least 6 hours of starvation (sleep). Not a good idea. Especially since cortisol is so high in the morning, and low intensity cardio isnt useful anyway

wutever dude thats just your opinion (about the usefullness of low intensity cardio) as that was mine. it has worked great for me so far and you cant argue with progress.

That's great. I just started walking around my village before I go to school i sleep about 8 hours a night. I was wondering if low intensity would still burn fat and i guess it does since it worked for ya. I'm gonna continue walking now! thanks
