Removing body fat

[FrankLee]

I have been lifting for around 2-3 years now. I am in my early 20s. Overall I have gotten stronger and have visibly put on a decent amount of muscle. My issue I've always had though is my bodyfat. I am probably sitting around 20% right now, and I've never gotten lower. Awhile back I dropped around 10lbs on the scale, while maintaining my muscle, but it took everything I had. It took me like 2-3 months. I had to intermittent fast and restrict myself like crazy (I hated it). I still never ended up losing anything noticeable around my core though, as I store most of my fat around my core.

So my question is... what can I take to help the fat come off? I have been lurking around this forum, and a couple others for a few months now. Reading, reading, reading, but I still don't feel confident enough to dive into purchasing anything (that's why I am here). The only thing I do not feel comfortable doing at this point is pinning/injecting (plz don't flame me for that). I want to be safe and smart, but I really want to drop my BF to around 10% as it's always been my goal. I appreciate any help/info.

restricting calories to lose weight is the biggest bunch of malarkey we see spouted like diarhea on forums by people who don't understand nutrition. once again, per your example.. IT DOES NOT WORK. it might work initially, it might work for a bodybuilder going into a show.. but for the avg couch potato american it simply is counter productive

had you come to me for advice on fat loss I would have first wanted to know your history.. i would have never just told you to 'eat in a deficit' like these other self proclaimed gurus will tell you. also i would tell you to eat natural foods. CYCLE your calories, implement various types of fasting in your life, and learn that when and how often you eat def effects fat loss. remember your body is either going to store or burn fat. most americans eating style insures they stay in fat storage mode most of the day, hence why they keep getting fatter and fatter.

i can work with you via a consultation and get you in the right direction, just hit me up
