go in the gym or else have some brisk walk or jog in an oval it helps u a lot esp. for ur cardio endurance.
eat the right amount of food...don't skip ur meals and stay fit..

carohydrates are the one that can be easily digest in our body so the best thing that u do is cut off the carbo then you'll see a result for that...u can eat the foods that u want but lessen the carbo and sweet foods; eventhough ur a gym addict, u exercise a lot but in every 100 calories that u burn only 1% of ur fat was get rid in ur body.. :mrgreen:

@ryZel: you make the carbohydrate sound bad... carbohydrate is your main source of energy.. simple carbohydrates are the one you like to avoid especially if you don't have an active lifestyle.. complex carbohydrates are the one you need to fuel your body even if you're active and not. and of course another factor is quantity, obviously anything excess is bad.. in the case of carbohydrates either complex or simple the one that is not used by your body is stored as fats for extra energy. quality is another factor the more process the carbohydrate the worst it is.. so try to eat as close as it's natural state...

carbo fuel us up but juz minimize eating with it but juz try to eat foods without carbo, we can get carbo not only with rice,sweet foods can be a source of energy to prevent us from hypoglycemia...

eat complex carbo... read pchan's post

eat good fats.. fish, nuts, lean meat, avocado, etc.

do it 5-6 times a day in small meals to promote better metabolism of your food intake

and in everything you devour do so in moderation

Some quotes from the article

All the cardio in the world is not going to help you if you're going home to scarf down a cheese cake. You have to diet just as hard as you work in the gym. Good nutrition is absolutely key when it comes to getting shredded.

If you've been training for any length of time, you already know one undisputed fact: Protein is a staple in any serious bodybuilding diet. Many experts have recommended approximately one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass.

For the serious trainer looking to pack on muscle while getting ripped, one and a half grams of protein per pound will better help your muscles repair and rebuild for growth and help keep you feeling full for longer periods of time. And when your stomach feels full, you'll be more likely to avoid the fridge and any snacks that may halt your progress.

"Lastly, few realize that large amounts of protein can be similar to doing cardio when it comes to revving your metabolism. Interestingly enough, it takes twice the amount of energy for your body to metabolize protein than it does for carbs. So, in essence with the right amount of protein in your diet you're burning more calories while eating! "

"Most people think that if you eat carbs, you're going to get fat. But, contrary to the common belief, this is actually not the case. Carbs are vital to help keep glycogen stores full and provide energy while training.

If these stores are depleted, the body will begin to burn muscle to help keep itself from starvation. As you burn more muscle, your daily caloric intake becomes lower and lower, making it harder and harder to burn calories. Limiting starchy carb (oatmeal, potato, etc.) intake to earlier times in the day, and consuming simple carbs (dextrose, maltodextrin) only after a workout will help keep your body from storing these carbs as fat. "

All fats are NOT created equal.

"The fact of the matter is, there are bad fats and good fats. Hamburgers, bacon, sausages and ice cream are full of bad fats; called saturated fats. However, salmon, nuts, flax oil, and olive oil, just to name a few, contain good unsaturated fats, which every bodybuilder should have in their diet. These types of fats support an already healthy metabolism and get you shredded."

"The more water you drink, the more you retain - this idea is completely backwards. The fact is, the body only retains small amounts of water simply to protect itself from dehydration."

Drink lots of water and lots of walking
