I see what you mean nate. I guess it could act as something that breaks down fat itself. Didn't look at it that way, but it still can also get in the way of a cardio work out. That's a factor.
@cowmeat: We are trying to recommend drugs to people. This is an educated argument over something interesting and helpful imo.
@RAWWHR,
simple this turned into a long summary:
Energy and fat loss:
Quick energy comes in carbs and sugars. You're body will burn off what hasn't turned to fat before anything else. By keeping that in mind, you need a way to burn off the fat in the areas that need it. Blood, nutrience, etc flows all over the body. The simple solution to this dilemma would be to work out every part of your body you can so you can break all the carbs and sugars quicker and get to the fat. Yes, burning fat is the part where you feel like dying. That's what it is. Energy can come in many forms. Fat hurts the most and that's THE ENERGY you need to get rid of, so pumping yourself with coffee or some mix will not help that. Some supplements may help burn fat for you, but beware of the catches and side effects. (for the record, creatine is basically harmless. I would research it, but if what nate says is true, go for it!)
Protien:
This is basically what heals/helps build yourself. Consume it after workouts for a quicker and more healthier rejuvenation. It's just stuff I don't really need to talk too much about.
Calories, food, etc:
It's all energy. Burn it or it turns into fat or it's used. Some metabolisms are worse than others so the energy might not be used and is stored as fat. Cutting back on your diet logically would prevent that, but it's definitely not something you should fret over. Put more effort into burning the energy rather than avoiding it. Your body needs it for work outs. People who do large diets should work out less actualy so they have energy to stand, but that ends up having your muscle being eaten away and other things. So, logically, diet if you don't need some energy your consuming, but don't hurt yourself. By the way, if you want to gain muscle, consume calories after workouts with protein. Calories are the building blocks and the protien is the builder, but if you gain muscle, you'll need more energy and calories, etc. You're physically bigger.
Strength for you:
This is not actualy defined as muscle mass. You can be super strong without gaining much. It is possible, I promise. I would wait to gain until after you cut down fat for reasons above.(fat people with big muscles look even fatter if that's an issue for you lol) A lot of skinnier-type strength has things to do with muscle development, compaction, and diet. Lifting light or your own body weight will keep muscles healing and getting physically stronger without the need to get bigger and thus helping reduce your need for the intake of calories aswell. (works with that burning fag thing)
All and all:
No one is saying anything wrong really. Go about it in the way you deem fit, but research the facts about the human body so you can make an educated decision.
Holy shit wtf is wrong with me ^ YOU WANT A FITNESS NUT? HOW ABOUT AN ARROGANT FITNESS NUT?!
