Hi All,
Having hit the big five-oh, I want to make some changes to what I eat to strip away some layers of fat. I am not looking to get to the point of bodybuilder competition, but maybe get to see my abs and some vascularity.
Dropping weight to me only seems to be part of the answer, as losing too fast means you might only lose muscle and fluid, not fat. So you could end up fatter but lighter?
At present, I don't count calories, carbs, protein or fats. I try to eat relatively clean most of the time, but I like the occasional beer usually on a weekend.
I reckon I need to go into calorie deficit but wonder if this just ends up in lost weight, not fat. I don't mind doing some 'counting' but would like some guidance.
I currently workout 3 times per week, doing full body over 2 workouts. I do some brisk walking (30-40 minutes) 3-5 times per week.
Any advice and/or links to sites that might help?
