Some basics: I'm 27, 5'3", 132lbs, BF measures at 15% (80% is on my ass, no joke). I've been training hard and consistently for a few years and I eat a clean diet. My upper body is really defined, but I have a tough time getting rid of the fat below the equator. I'm not trying to get down to competition-level bodyfat, just want a more asthetic bottom half....but dammit, I lose a lot of strength and muscle every time I make a more extreme effort to get my lower body to give up that fat. I'm researching the different "supplements" that might help me retain the muscle while I go on a fat-burning crusade, but mostly I'm wondering if I acheive what I want to, will I be able to maintain it without drugs? Or will I have to follow such an extreme diet/cardio regime in order to keep that fat off that I lose the muscle in the end anyhow? I just want to be an informed consumer and was hoping some of you experienced folks might be able to shed some light on the matter...
Thanks
