Hey guys, in a previous post I shared my results with the BFL program. I must say I was impressed with the results although it was not what the book promised. Anyhow, Im addicted now, Im down to about 17% (from 26%) body fat and wanna hit 12 or lower before June 1st (I refuse to quit untill I see abs by June 1st). I put it to the entire board, to help me build a routine to accomodate this. I can manage the diet myself as I think it is sufficent (six meals a day 2.5 hrs apart .8 grams protein per lb(s) of body weight).
I assure you you help and hard work will not go wasted as I assure you my heart will make it happen. If you'd like to help please email or message me and I will give you my current details and diet. Any split routines or comments on H.I.I.T would be greatly appreciated.

I'm into supplements; add this to your list if you like:
Take caffeine (up to 800mg per day) and a green tea supplement. Always do high calorie burners when given the option--for example, choose the crosstrainer over the stair stepper, and work hard. You know the diet bit; find tricks like Splenda, reduced-calorie everything (bread, candy, soda, etc) and work, diet, work, diet

The Ogun has spoken. All true. One thing to add though, your diet will determine whether you see abs or not.

I would suggest for starters as far as training goes to checkout the "weight loss and definition" workout of this site, and add in the Abs workout. Then post your questions and we can tweak things for you if needed. You may be for instance more advanced than that program, but it is good basics that can be modified in any way to fit your fitness levels. There are no real "magic" workouts, just solid fundamental ones that are proven to work.

If I can manage to keep my blood sugar up by eating every 2.5 hrs and take in a mere 1600 calories and still get enough protein to equal .8 grams per lb(s) of bodyweight.
Will my progress continue? Ive got my carb/protein/fat ratio looking like this for the time being :
64 % Protein
27 % Carbs
9 % Fat
1650 Cals total devided by 6 meals
I know this isnt ideal for muscle, expecially growth, but will I loose muscle, or luckily just keep what I have and continue to shed bodyfat? I need the absolute perfect bled of calories (or least amount I can intake) without loosing muscle (not gaining is fine).... any ideas on how to calculate this?

Why would you ever want to keep your blood sugar up all the time? The only time you want to raise blood sugars is post workout, and possibly a small rise first thing in the morning.
With the diet macros you are presenting, you should lose no muscle as long as you eat at the right opportune times. I don't know what your bodyweight is right now so I cannot comment on the 1600 calorie limit you set for yourself. The proper way to do this is to know your maintenance level, then reduce 250 calories a day from there till the weight loss stops, then adjust again with more exercise or more calorie cuts to fuel another pound loss. A slow but sure way is best, too much of a cut and your body will respond with a big muscle loss. I did not comment on your diet originally as you stated you had this portion of it under control. Good luck to you.
