[QUOTE="jcizzle, post: 1575976, member: 18220"] I started swimming and counting calories last year and dropped a ton of weight fast. I still didn't like it though bc I was eating less calories but the wrong foods still. Tons of carbs to keep up the cardio. So, I was a smaller version of the same body fat percentage. I was becoming what some refer to as "skinny-fat". After getting frustrated, I quit the program and put that weight back on quickly since all of that calorie counting and cardio burned up all my muscle. A friend from church turned me onto a program that I'm loving. She is a bodybuilder so it's pretty old school. With the exception of an app and on protein shake per day, it's five meals per day consisting of mainly chicken, brown rice, and greens. Not alot of seasonings and stuff that ads hidden calories and sodium. Tons of food but different food than I'm used to. I now lift on her program 4 days per week and do three days of cardio that consists of 2minute running intervals on inclines ranging from 3% - 15% on the treadmill. It's tough to stick with at first but I'm[B] three weeks in and down 12lbs and already seeing good muscle tone again.[/B] Key is that [B]many protein rich foods have higher calorie count so I avoided them before but that protein is needed for muscle growth.
