I am currently trying to lose weight and tone up advice please!?
Hi I am currently trying to lose weight and tone up as i am 5ft:11 and weigh 15 stone, I have been going to the gym and eating health now i was thinking i know supplements are crap all the stuff that promises weight loss and doesn't work are all so crap but i was think maybe i should take whey protein shakes to help with the amino acids side and the vitamins, or am i just contradicting my self with this??

O and PS only started all this a week ago so OVZ I haven't seen any changes yet so not to sure if this is working but i think i have lost 4:lbs in around 5 days so not looking to bad

Also is it vital to keep a count on calories because i feel im not eating bad now i eat alot of fruit, fish, red meat, chicken and say if im have fish for EX for tea ill have like 3 small boiled potato's and say peas and sweetcorn just for my 5 a day i drink alot but not to much water as i am aware i dont want water weight ERM i think thats all, so basicly should i take whey protein and any other advice is Very much appreciated!!

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Hey brotha. You gotta post up your whole diet for us to get a feel on how your doing. Diet is going to be key. Supplements won't do anything without good diet. You do need to keep a count of your macros (fats, protein and carbohydrates) as well as calories so you can modify them as you make progress.

About the water, you definitely need to drink lots of water. Your not going to accrue tons of water weight by drinking it.

o and also would you recommend taking creatine?

**bjo2925** · 01-18-2013, 08:03 AM

191 grams of carbs, 18 grams of protein?

Man, if this is true is kind of sad...
You need help, bro.

**Armykid93** · 01-18-2013, 08:36 AM

I don't think your using the app right dude. If your diet really looks like this its pretty messed up.

You should be eating more of a 40 40 20 style diet IMO, this means 40 prevent protein 40 percent carbs and 20 percent fat

Check out the sticky on this forum on how to cut. Also read up on the healthy foods sticky. Both are in the nutrition section.
