what you do is up to you, best wishes.... im certain there will be 'experts' who come in here and tell you cutting carbs is foolish and whatnot and to not listen to my advise

thats your call... but again, best wishes

Thanks man... Everything is worth a try, if it doesn't work I can always do something else

Cut carbs but no cheese? What the hell are you talking about?

OP, no dairy, no breads or pasta. Eat more green vegetables and lean meats.

Drink a lot of water. Coupled with your training and some cardio, the weight will come off. Split up your meals into 6 small instead of 3 large.

The first 10-15lbs is the easiest to lose.

yes, thats what i said... when you eliminate carbs you utilize fat and protein for energy.. the human body can only use 25-35% of the protein calories for energy, the remaining must come from fat

cheese has fat, meaning cheese has energy

i didnt say reduce carbs did i, i said cut them... chill out dickwad

Cheese also contains milk sugar/carbs. Also nobody is arguing fat is essential, but there is nothing healthy about the fat in cheese.

Fish, Olive Oil and Almonds are better sources of fat than Cheese.
