Morning cardio on a empty stomach 10 hours after you eat (the night before) for 30-40 mins

it should not take to long you are young that helps a bunch....whenever I try to strip away some bodyfat i lift weights in the morning before breakfast... but dont try to lose the bodyfat to fast you will lose some muscle to if your diet is to hardcore....i would say limit your carbs to about 200-250 per day but only good carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice and whole grain breads and pastas also keep your protein around 160 grams a day
He should be eating like that anyway
morning cardio on empty stomach but get a ton of BCAAs in you before you do this (if your natural that is). I would suggest CKD or TKD - but many cant handle this/do it wrong.
Obviously a calorie deficit everyday helps...so does a strict diet, frequent small meals, good fats (mono unsaturated) and lots of water.

Look into intermittent fasting. It's the way to go.

I cant tell if that would work or not. Have you tried this?
Id consider it but I lose mass quickly if I dont lift or eat much. Thats the only reason Id be hesitant of this approach.
Would you say its more effective than CKD?

this tackles the myth of fasted cardio (only just made aware of this). As always excellent read
More effective? Well, no and yes lol
I made the switch to IF not too long ago myself so I'm still a newb. I can say it's the best thing I've ever done in terms of simplification of my life and routine. It is very fucking convenient.
I originally dropped some water weight the first week, but my scale weight has not changed much at all. I'm down 7 pounds in a month and noticeably leaner with not a drop in strength. I would say the recomp effect is on and that's perfect for me. No big rush to get really lean, but I do intend on getting ripped to shreds and staying that way while adding lbm
I should also mention that I'm not really eating clean at all. Well, not your typical fat loss diet clean. Anytime you're eating a pound of meat with all the trimmings, it doesn't really feel like much of a diet. 300g of protein from whole food spread over three meals doesn't leave much room in the stomach.
OK, with that out of the way.... I've always used ckd's in the past when dieting. They work extremely well and I have no problem recommending them to anyone who is looking to get lean.
IF is different though. Not to sound like a cult member, but it's more about a lifestyle and less about a diet. I do not see myself deviating from this style of eating/living for a long time. Regardless of my fitness goals.
This isn't for everyone for sure Dog, but it's worth looking into objectively. I was the biggest skeptic myself until trying it and seeing what it's all about.
If anything check out the lean gains site and his most popular articles. They're good reads.
