cutting?

Cutting is all about diet but still retaining as much mass as you possibly can. Determine what your maintenance food intake is and take it down a few hundred calories as well as increase your cardio a bit if you aren't doing enough. I personally don't stop with the whey protein as it's a big part of my protein intake. Depending on your fat intake, a fish oil supplement is in line and then you just adjust your carb intake downward but not dratically. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
