Actually you increase your metabolism with increased muscle mass, how ever ----- I reached a point where I could not stand the extra fat on my abs and luv handles.
Why would anyone call fat on your waist luv handles-I hate them
Any way my 3 part solution: (just finished this today)
21 days clen
10 days ECA
21 days clen
Cardio, weights, clean diet on the above then your ready.
12 days on DNP
cardio---forget weights after day four----
and forget the gym after day 8
Low calorie, high protein diet, Zero simple carbs-you will lose not just weight but you will lose FAT.
And towards the end of the cycle you would rather eat a snicker bar than get laid. It is hard but it works.
Go for it.
