Hey AAP - do you prefer albuterol over clen? Why? thanks bd

good post.

Is the diet working? Are you, in fact, losing fat?

Thanks, Nathan. Okay, here's another. From my calculations, my maintenence cals for a day is around 2700 (12 cals x 225lbs). I eat around 2000 cals, and then cardio reduces that by 500 cals 4-5 days a week. Is eating *MORE* clean calories actually going to help me lose fat? I've always be a...

good info. Thanks a bunch. Fat mobilization seems like the best topic to start researching... ...bd

Coke Zero isn't bad at all...resist Coke and carbonation in general!! ...bd

Wow that was a lot of questions - honestly though, I really want to understand HOW and WHY things work in dieting. I'm versed in many things, but dieting is not one. ...bd

oh yeah, so how are my counts on protein, carbs, and fats? Pretty decent? Where should I be with regard to percentages on those numbers? Why would eating more fat (in the form of Flax or olive oil) help me to lose more fat? Also, why would I want to eat "good carbs" like brown rice and oats...

Thanks for the input folks. So should I be happy with my results at this point - about 15 pounds lost in 3 months? I'd like to hold on to the muscle I have (that's why I'm trying to keep the protein up with the shakes), so I don't get down below 220. I don't know, it's kind of a mental thing...

I re-read my post and maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit in the bodyfat % department. I really don't know what it is, but I feel like with my description of my fitness level, you can decide on the %.
