Desperate help with body fat %

I'm an intermediate weight lifter who lifts 5 days a week and does cardio 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. How can I decrease my body fat% to fewer than 10 % and what kind of foods can I eat to achieve this? Currently I drink a slim fast for breakfast, eat a banana and almonds for a snack, than eat a power bar meal replacement for lunch, some more almonds and an orange for a snack, a complete meal for dinner, and than any other light snack I can think of after that. Is their anything else I can do to drop my body fat more???? P.S How much body fat can I realistically lose before September 1st:angry: -------------- Anthony Rice

They are useful if you program it right and if you use them at the same time of day every time you use it. Still mine is about 6% high. Goto your local Y and have it checked there. -------------- My Catahoula did it. I saw a book titled "Sex for Dummies" and wondered why anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?

Add some protien, check out the diet forum here and maybe track your calories for a while. I would also suggest maybe ditching the slim fast and eat some real food. But certainly checkout the diet forum.

I've lost 7 pounds since June 3rd and I'm still healthy and all so the calories are ok. Are you saying if I eat even more than I'll lose weight? Anyway, I really would appreciate all replies. Thanks for the posts. P.S. I'm starting to see my abs =)!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool: -------------- Anthony Rice

I had several small "meals" during the day to stay in a state of being "well fed" where my body never thought I was starving. I did lose about 30 pounds at the beginning of the pregnancy which while normally not healthy for a pregnant woman was fine with me under doctor supervision. Now I just want to lose all the weight I gained and more.
