I posted a thread a few days ago with questions about hcg because I've read how great it is for fat loss, but since you're all the experts and I'm new, I want to know what is the best way to lose fat and slim down?
I've so far lost 15lbs on my weight loss journey. I'm 24 years old, had a baby 4 1/2 years ago so my biggest problem area is my stomach. I'm 5 foot 5 1/2, and currently weigh 130 lbs. My goal weight is 115 lbs. According to this bf% calculator, my estimated body fat is 25%. I don't want to just look "average", I want to be really fit and toned and lose inches!
For exercise, I'm doing p90x (lean program) and in my 4th week. I don't keep a diary or count calories in my diet, but I've reduced my carb intake as in I haven't eaten pasta and the only bread item is a piece of whole wheat toast in the morning, or bran cereal with sliced bananas instead of toast, then just fruits and veggies all day and Atkins protein shakes, and green tea.
Since it's probably best to include everything I'm doing, sorry if it's TMI, I also drink milk of magnesia every night because I am very constipated and bloated otherwise. I'm actually completely constipated unless I drink it. I've taken more fibre, done everything, nothing else works for me. I've struggled with it for 2 years and I've cleared it with my doctor that there's nothing wrong with drinking MOM long term. I only take the 1 little cup amount each night (the little cup that comes with it) I'm not taking more than I need.
Any advice on diet and supplements to work on my body fat % and lose the inches on my stomach/thighs/butt please help me!
Sorry this is so long!
