Got a look good.

[BodyND]

Im looking to have a thin lean look. Im planing on doing just cardio and abb work outs every day. What do you think of this. My overall goal is too try to get down to around 140lbs because im an endurance athlete and i require a low body fat percentage. Right now im around 155lbs all my stats are below also a picture as well.

Stats:
Weight :155
Height : 6ft
Body Fat: 14 percent ?

Diet: I was thinking about doing a diet where all i eat is soup would this be healthy or maybe a cuting diet with little to no carbs. I was thinking a low calorie intake as well. Prob 1000 too 1500 calories a day below maitinance which is 1850.

A soup only diet?

Have you ever heard of the TEF or thermic effect of food. Do me a favor and google that.

 

[BodyND]

Protein and green veggies is where it's at. The amount of calories your body burns just to digest certain veggies is ridiculous. Spinach, celery, and asparagus are a few that come to mind as being "negative calorie" foods. Meaning your body burns more calories digesting them then they actually provide.

OP: You have no muscle. I can see your hip bones. I understand you want to be lean, but you are going to have to add some more lbm to get the look you are after. High protein, lots of green veggies, and healthy fats. Train with weights and do cardio. Don't be a pussy.

If it were me, I wouldn't cut out the weights altogether. Probably necessary if you want to keep muscular along with a lean physique.
I don't believe cardio vs. weights is an either/or situation. Sure, there's always a trade-off going on, but once you figure out the right balance you can get the best of both.

You should consider something like a full body circuit where you pick 6 or 7 exercises covering all muscle groups on do them one after the other with no rest for 12-15 reps. Rest 3-5 minutes and and repeat. Or complexes, similar to circuits, where you load up the bar with a light weight and go nonstop for 5-6 reps on each exercise, each exercise transitions into the other non-stop using the same weight on the bar, rest and repeat. Here are some examples:

Complex A

Row
Clean
Front squat
Military press
Back squat
Good mornings


Complex B

Deadlift
Clean-grip high pull
Clean-grip snatch
Back squat
Good mornings
Row


Complex C

Hang snatch
Overhead squat
Back squat
Good mornings
Row
Deadlift


Complex D

Upright row
Clean-grip snatch
Back squat
Behind the neck press
Good mornings
Row


Complex E

Power clean
Military press
Back squat
Good mornings
Behind the neck press
Front squat


Complex F

Overhead squat
Back squat
Good morning
Front squat
Rows
Deadlift/QUOTE]

Both these options are high in cardio conditioning but the addition of weights will let you keep and improve quality muscle you've already worked hard for. This is the type of training MMA and others do to maintain hard and strong while losing weight or staying within a weight class. Of course, seeing as you're an endurance athlete, if what I've posted seems counterproductive, please disregard my post.
