I Need Help!

I have strong abs but I have a little bit of fat, so you can't see the full six-pack that I want. What is your advice for me to lose that little bit of fat the fastest way possible? Remember I only have a month and I play basketball very often. -------------- If Satan ever tries to remind you of your past, just tell him of his future!

The energy is available for a short time, if you don't use it, it's stored as fat. If you do plan on eating them, try eating 15-30 minutes before your workout. I would just avoid them all together myself, but thats just me. -------------- If I could give one piece of advice, it would be you\'re only on loan in this world, take advantage of the time in which you are here, tomorrow it may be time to go home and meet your Creator\"
