Weight loss help.

[Alx.]

Not 100% true if you want to do weights to lose weight there is no need to do cardio. Is all abot cal consumption.

that as well of course but the man said he eats right so i figured he knew how many calories hes taking and etc

Pretty ordinary advice in this thread.

It is almost all about your diet. Cardio actually has minimal impact on fat loss. Keep lifting weights, this is more important than cardio.

With your diet it depends what weight you are at. When I started taking my health seriously I lost weight easily just from cleaning up my diet, however you reach a point where you need to regulate and count your calories pretty seriously to drop any more weight.

So yeah, keep lifting, regulate your calories closely. That is the best way to drop weight. Cardio is easily the third most important of the three.

I should also add that you can "eat good foods" or whatever and still go way over the number of calories you should be consuming to maintain your current weight.

Thanks for all the input guys..

My diet is pretty good, I run a pharmacy so I have quite a good knowledge.

I think will try swapping the fruit i eat on a daily basis to just veg and see how that goes.

the reason you are gaining weight is because you are putting on muscle

if you want to lose weight just do cardio and stop hitting the weights

ehh... And where do you think the muscles come from? A calorie excess.

Simply put threadstarter. You eat too much. It doesn't matter if it's "clean food" if it's more than you need.
Use something like fitday to track how much you get in your system, and evaluate accordingly.

Stop lifting weights if you wan't to lose more muscles than needed when on a calorie deficit.
