Gaining lean muscle mass while lossinf fat
Shadow,
You can do both however I would never recommend bulking up first by gaining a significant amount of body fat just to loss it once you have obtained it. Try a good whey protein,(Isopure is a good one) eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, keep your protien intake up high and your fat gram intake low. It takes alot of energy for your body to burn off bodyfat and it will draw on leanmuscle mass if you do not have enough calories in your body . Check out my post called Reciepes #2 in this section. It will give you some different meals to prepare that may make dieting a little less boring. I will be up-dating the recepes every week so keep a look out in that section for differnt receipes. Do you do any kind of cardio? Well your going to have to if you have any significant amount of body fat to lose. You need to do a minimal of 30 minutes at least 3 times a week. As long as you are eating enough you can up the cardio if you are able without lossing alot of lean muscle mass at the same time. You may enlist the aid of fat burners if you choose, but if you have every had any problems with high bllod pressure, heart diease, or a seziure disorder I would stay away from them if I were you. Good luck and keep us posted on your progres.
