Default How to lose fat?

I just can't this sh1t off! I've gained muscle, I'm way strongerand I'm getting big. Then I see people half the size of me way stronger than me.

What are some good excercises to lose fat?

I've cut all liquids except water/milk from my diet.
I don't eat any candy or fast food. (Subway is only fast foodI eat)
I do chest, shoulder and arms (Monday/Friday)

I'm still having trouble with a cardio routine. I like to walk because it's more peaceful and it's easier on my knees. How much should I walk and should I walk everyday? On lifting days I would like to walk 1.5 miles as a cool down from weights. On cardio days I'm thinking 3 miles?

Another question is fat burners. My mom takes them and slowly she loses. I'm thinking with exercise I can lose a lot more, but which ones are good? I'm 18 so I think I'm old enough.

The reason I want to lose is this summer a friend of mine wants to go swimming everyday, but I'm nervous because of the fat. It ****ing sucks when she has a drop dead body. [:@]

BTW: I am still configuring a weights routine for abs, traps, and back, etc.

PORTION CONTROL.


You may be eating healthy- but I would bet 20 bucks you are eating too much of the healthy things.

You need to pay attention to how much you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat in one sitting.


4-5 small meals a day, not 2 big ones and a snack.


It is cliche, but it is all about eating right (and the right amount of eating) and exercise.

You seem to have the exercise part down, so the diet has to be the weak link. Make sure your cardio burns off 300-500 calories a day and you are golden.

A longer, slower cardio will be better then a fast short one. So you kinda have the right idea there. You should be doing at least 45 minutes, no more then an hour on your cardio days.

Also,


HIIT


High Intensity Interval Training.


Basically, Run for a minute, walk for a minute, sprint for a minute, walk for a minute, run for a minute.


Over and over and over. Your body gets used to doing the same thing. If you walk at the same pace in the same way for 45 minutes, your body will basically go into repetition mode and fall asleep.

By changing it up, you are keeping your body on the toes and making it expend more energy to keep up.

I can't remember what they called them but we did something like this in the military. Boy is it a good time. You would be jogging in a line of 8-10 people and the last person in the line would have to constantly be sprinting to the front of the line.

HIIT, isn't it to make your body use more energy over time?
