    lose fat gain muscle mass

    hi
    is it true that you can bulk up and lose fat at the same time if you eat right? my problem is i have a little bit of a belly and want to lose the fat in my gut and put on muscle mass.

    consistant diet and cardio bro!!!!! Nothing more, nothing less!!! Take 220 - age X 65% = target h.r. This is just a guide for fat burning. Do steady state cardio 5 days/week for 45 min/day keeping you h.r. in that zone and you should be fine. Currently I do 45 min 10 degree incline, 3.5 mph. My h.r. ranges between 118 and 128 bpm. So far I have lost 6 lbs since Jan 5th, but my clothes fit better, Im a bit more vascular, and my abs are jumping out

    I got my body fat down to 3% for a show. I never ran once. I did the stationary bike and treadmill at a good pace. Too much running will lose lots of Muscle. Just be careful.
