Inexperienced needing help

[B6Reeze5]

I have this friend who just graduated from college with a degree in Health and Fitness. He only has me working out (lifting) 3 days a week. He also told me I could do cardio 30-45 min on eliptical (sp?) everyday if I want. My question is is 3 days a week not enough? It seems to me that it's not, but I don't have a degree. He is also training for bodybuilding competitions so I want to trust him in what he' s saying.

Here is one reason I am a little skeptical is because he's been bigger (pretty fat) for his whole life and I have always been the smaller one. Now that he has been dieting and working out intensely, he is way more cut than I have EVER been. I am afraid that he isn't telling me something that I need to know so he remains in better shape than me forever.

I just want a good workout routine to get me to lose some weight and SHREDDED. I am willing to do anything besides illegal steroids to do this. I am 210 lbs 5'11'' and my bf is prob like 17-20%. I really want a workout routine and a diet that would help me out here. I know in this thread its only good for diet, but ill repost/reword it again in the workout forum. Please give me a solid diet that would be great.

P.S. he also gave me a sample diet...which im using to the "T" I dont want to post it because i want to compare and not have it evaluated

if you hit all the muscles in the right amount then 3 days a week is fine. It will just take you more time per workout day than if you did 4 or 5 days.

You admit you're inexperienced, yet you doubt a friend of yours with a degree in the subject? You should be happy you have a friend that will help you out with it, because you sound like a major doubter. And if you want advice on your diet/work out routine you have to POST IT.

Here's some more advice; your friend is ripped because of years of hard work and dedication, you're at 20% bf because your diet sucks and you haven't worked hard for years (and I can say that without seeing your diet). You're willing to do anything but steroids to achieve your goals? Then start doing cardio and post your diet for a critique.
