Neil Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Due to my exams and my bulking diet I havn't had much time to train very much in the past 3 to 4 moths and due to my large food intake it has started to come on the waist and bum. When my last exam is over (June 13) I will start to train like mad again, but to lose that extra fat do you think I should diet or should I just wait and then turn all that fat into muscle without cutting back on food? The thing is I have alreadt started a diet eliminatuing starchy carbs and is working very very quickly, and I'm starting to worry about ppower thats all since for so long it has become a habit to never be hungry and now I have to restrict food and my body is very confused. Iwant to start bulking again, but don't want to put on extra fat! thanks, Neil
jamis Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 If you are not exercising and you are also consuming excess calories, you will gain fat. Plain and simple. I'd probably cut the food intake until you can return to your lifting so you'll have less work to do when you start up again. Note: fat will not 'turn into' muscle.
Tombstone Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 Extra fat is just part of mass gaining. After you've reached a desired level you can always concentrate on trimming.
Neil Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 Thats what I'm doing now except someone ate all the fruit and yogurt and I had my English exam so I had to make a sandwich (bread=starchy!) from time to time over this past week I have had to have the occaisional starch and I just had a lasanya (can't spell that). Afetr eating it I could see my muscle definition melt away. Yesterday I could see my 8 pack! I had no idea I had an 8 pack! But everyone sais to get a 6 pack its what you eat rather than what you do. That means loads of people proboly have 6 packs they just have a layer of fat over it. But following natures laws (Matt Furey's diet) really does work. I still don't know what I want to do. I'm not into looks, it all has to be functional. I'm not a bodybuilder but I certainly would not mind ontinuing to pack on more muscle. Today someone said I look like a rottweiler which for some reason really made me feel great! I'm goona do a really big workout today and I'l after and decid whether I'l stick with a diet to trim or to get more size and weight. thanks, Neil
Tombstone Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Today someone said I look like a rottweiler which for some reason really made me feel great! I bet it did. When you start hearing good things like that, it makes you want to keep going with your training. Good luck.
