More cardio Jase, more cardio!

Are you doing any resistance training?

Wilks....only more cardio if his diet is in check!
Post up your exact/or close to exact diet of a typical day..dont lie either..then we can all chime in and offer you advice!

Doing cardio wont really help if your eating to many calories of which are from the wrong sources!

Josh.

i disagree. you can either decrease your calories or burn more calories. best to do both but you cant say doingd cardio wont help. Wilks is right for the most part. diet is key though so it would be easier to look at adjusting that rather than slogging your guts out in the gym for longer. a combination of the 2 however is how you get fastest resuts,

for a sample cutting diet check out my blog on my monster body challange, last year i was quiet ripped and it seemed to work if you are stuck on what to do or which foods to eat, hope this helps.

Adam..diet is the first thing that should be adjusted is what i mean...then when results slow up the cardio..by changing your diet and hitting cardio right from day 1 you have a good chance of losing to much weight to quickly.

I guess this is true and i may have been a little too quick with the cardio advice.

Although the OP stated he wants to cut "all the fat off his body" rather than hold on to muscle (assuming he even does resistance exercise?)

My take was that the OP's gym habits (from what we got in the first post) are to run twice a week in the gym. It may be that he runs 2 marathons a week or it may not. I was intimating that more frequency in cardio would be beneficial to weight-loss.

Diet is important though, I don't dispute that!

I wasnt disagreeing with you wilks, just stating that diets important.

soz for the late reply, (insurance company's are tw*ts!)

basically i have -
beans on 1 piece of bread @ 8.30
2x tins of tuna and half a tin of sweetcorn at 1-2 pm
had a snickers then @ 4ish (i now its bad!)
15 mins running in the gym
hour on the weights and 10 mins on the bike
then came home and had a ham roll (white bread) @ 8pm

soo its not all bad (well i dnt think!) this is my sort of day to day meal!

if not i have 2 x toast in the morning
3 chicken thighs from tesco/asda @12-1
beef caserole or ham salad @ 5-6 pm

Im no expert but....... Anyone who is megga ripped or has that washboard belly is useually real strict on diet or just geneticly that way. The white bread, chocolate and processed meat would be a factor. The small number of meals may be hindering you as your matabalism may be slow, 6 small balanced meals will speed it up. i would aim for half hour cardio. basicly you need to burn more calories than you eat and only eat good calories. remember the body isnt fussy where it burns fat from so there isnt really a way of burning just bellyfat. hope i helped. sorry if i got anything wrong guys...................
