    I agree as this has worked for me too. As with you. Yogiart, I too am after a new lifestyle. And slow wins this race. Consistency too.
    And fasted cardio helped me get some BF down real fast in the beginning.

    All true.

    OP, what is your current workout regime? How many days do you lift and how many cardio sessions do you do. Also, can you advise time of day you do these workouts. Also what you do for a living?

    Let's get a plan together. There are 3 months til Santa comes down the chimney. We can make amazing changes to you by then if you have the Desire and are prepared to be Dedicated and Disciplined. The 3D's will get you a long long way!

    As I mentioned before, I used to go to the gym 5-6 days per week for years. Now I have to create everything from scratch again. I was planning on visiting the gym 4 times per week for weight lifting and do 5-6 fasted cardio at home on my treadmill.

    I appreciate your insights here. I will share with you more when I get my scale. Right now I am sick and not working out at all. I am still on very low carbs every day and was planning on carbing up on the weekend. I'll derive my cals as high as I can without increasing fat consumption. I will actually decrease fat consumptions. I'll be ready hopefully by Monday for any changes. Thanks again and yes 3D's

    Something I need to clarify, I need to get my diet to a point that it is mindless so I don't have to think much. I am a very busy person.

    So, what you need to do is create a plan that you stick to, that you enjoy, that gives results.

    Can you put a diet together that has:-

    a) 6 meals.
    b) incorporates 40g of protein per meal
    c) Has 50g of complex carbs in meal 1 and also in the pre and post workout meals
    d) has 70g of (mostly) healthy fats
    e) Has a fair share of green fibrous veggies in 3 of the meals
    f) has some berries at breakfast.

    Put that together, with foods you hopefully won't get sick of, that you can plan ahead for and list it here. Detail macro's for each meal and daily totals.

    I like your workout plan. And IF you can add 20 mins cardio at the end of each lifting session then so much better.

    Yes, I can do that. I will create one and share it with you. But I need to know my maintenance level. I believe I won't be able to do that until I get my scale in the mail. I will create this though and share maybe tonight
