(Ive heard doing the two simultaneously is near impossible.) My body fat is between 12-15 percent. What should I do? Buy Trim Spa and use that for a few weeks? I don't think I have much fat to lose, but Its its been very difficult to lose this final percent, and i wanna lose it as fast as possible.

Sample meal of my diet: oatmeal w/ a banana or frozen peaches and soetimes a grapefruit for breakfast. Large can of tuna on 2 peices of low carb wheat bread and tomato based soup for lunch. 2-4 chicken breasts for dinner w/ frozen vegetables. 2 Green apples and some natural peanut butter for desert.

As I believe the changeing back to what you eat before a diet usually puts back what you lost. So like remove 2 chicken breasts from your day- monitor it over 2 weeks and was it enough to make a difference in body weight by a pound or two? If a little cut back doesn't work - I supposse an all out change is worth considering.. The nutrition info in here I find so valuable too

From the looks of it, his meals are a little bit unbalanced, increasing portions as the day progresses. My suggestion would be to add some protein at breakfast and also eat something between meals to speed up metabolism. :)
