Bro's I was wondering if anybody has some great ideas on loseing body fat. I struggle with the area around my stomach. I have been lifting for a couple of years and still am having problems. I know diet is a key. I have tried a lot of over the counter fat burners and am currently tring Hot Rox. I want to lose the fat with out losing the muscle. You need calories (protein) to build muscle. I want to get down to 10% body fat. Any ideas!
Best Way To Lose Body Fat

A ketogenic diet such as the Atkins diet of a modified CKD, can be very effective in losing fat. IMO it is not so effective at preserving muscle.
To me the keys to getting lean are:
Diet (of course) - watch carbs in general and especially simple carbs. Avoid consuming lots of carbs in the evenings. Quite simply, to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume.
Weight training - having more muscle mass is a huge aid to burning calories and getting lean. Each additional pound of muscle burns 30-50 calories per day at rest.
Cardio - to burn the most fat it helps to do it in a glycogen depleted state, such as immediately after waking (before consuming any carbs or fat) or right after lifting weights. HIIT - high intensity interval training has been shown to be exponentially more effective at fat burning than endurance type (level resistance) cardio.
I use ephedrine and it does help too.

Cardispan is just injectible L-carnitine and the amps are meant for intravenous injection don't waste your money unless you like iv injections. Better off taking a carnitine supplement. Testosterone mag has an article on it and they claim it's worthless injected in the fat or muscle.

Zipper your mouth and run your ass off.
LOL, I agree w/Doc!!
If you don't PERSONALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ......
Those guys at T-Mag don't Know everything!!
They came down here to El Paso/Juarez to buy some gear. And from what I read in their article(s) THEY WERE RIPPED OFF BECAUSE THEY WERE TOURISTS!!!!
If you CAN/KNOW how to read in Spanish - The box for Cardispan SPECIFICLY SAYS:
FOR USE - INTRAMUSCULARLY OR INTRAVEINOUSLY !!!
You should do your RESEARCH before you "qoute" other people...Who MAY or MAY NOT know everything.
L-Carnitine is not ONLY for FAT METABOLIZM...Medical research has shown it to be benificial for Cardiovascular HEALTH!!!! Look it up.
And I'm sure others would agree...that sometimes INJECTIONS are prefered to ORAL administration of substances. (Our intestines sometimes are not the cleanest that they should be - so sometimes they don't absorb all nutrients that have been ingested)
GOOD LUCK...and don't believe everything you read in T-Mag.... Do Scientific/Medical Research instead.

Cyclical Ketogenic Diet, it is named because of the timing of the carbs, it is cyclical and done for 1-2 days out of the week. There are other variations, like the TKD (targeted keto diet) which times the carbs after working out.
I recommend reading anything by Lyle McDonald about this diet.
As for cardio, the best option would be the hiit method that trevdog mentioned. Intervals are like sprinting for x amount of time and then jogging/walking for x amount of time and then repeating it. This is simplified but it gives you the general idea.
