Cardio ... Plain and simple and lots of it. Eating habits also. Have to watch the calorie intake. And stay away from fatty foods. Jogging or walking or the treadmill. And when you feel hungry but have already had a meal, drink a lot of water, this will cure the appetite. The difference between hunger and an appetite is hunger is the need to eat and an appetite is the desire to eat.

Cut the fast food (all of it) Cut the soda (all of it). Try to cut back on alchohol, drink wine if you wana get jacked up. Run RUN RUN RUN. Don't eat late. Eat whole foods (nothing processed). Portion you meals, it takes at least 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you are full. Go for a short walk after your meals (gets your stomach acid going and digesting).....Oh yea, RUN. Stretch in the morning and stretch at night.
I went from 250lbs of damn near obese fat to 200 lbs of regular fat, but still healthy.
Try not to suppliment too much, there are too many untested side effects. Im betting that NOTHING sold at places like GNC has been tested for over 5 years.

The healthiest way to lose weight is gradual so you don't lose muscle in the process. Its down to calories in < calories out. Meaning you need to calculate how many calories your body burns and eat less than that. There is a great online calculator I use for this. hope it helps http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ [ March 02, 2012, 01:43 AM: Message edited by: crazyhorse ]

That's 80% dieting and 20% working out. Mainly run and do swim workouts with lots a sauna time. Most important is the dieting. Right now I'm Trying to gain so I'm on a even 2 hour meal diet.

Learn to like fish and chicken breast. Two high protein and low calorie foods. Learn to feed your body what's best for it instead of what taste the best.

run, run, and run...if you want to lose fat, you gotta run. you can lift also but thats only going to give you more muscle and not necessarily lose weight.

It REALLY IS as easy as eating better choices and walking/jogging etc. Do those things differently consistently and you'll lose fat.

Grab hold of your nuts and do it. Ask Jared from subway who lost weight doing nothing but cardio and eating right did for all that loose skin. You need to incorporate aerobic workout and anaerobic workouts to keep your body toned. Remember go heavy when at a calorie defecit to best maintain the muscle mass you've built.

I drop 20lbs on and off during the year at least 3-4 times. And how I do it is by upping my cardio (of course) and changing my eating habits to the 1g of protein for every pound I weigh. I find that usually makes me have to eat more often and more cals, but they are good cals. And conducive to energy consumption. I also use this free eating plan website www.sparkpeople.com. It is free and the meal plans are solid. They even give you a weekly shopping list. I learned a lot from this site. Also if you get into a solid cardio routine, have a personal trainer give you your target heart rate. And ask them to use the "Karvonen" method. There is a sweet spot for maximum fat burning, most people do not know that.
Good luck, if you ever see me at the gym feel free to hit me up. I am currently in my slim down lean up phase. [ March 02, 2012, 11:15 AM: Message edited by: N8 ]

Not necessarily. He is trying to bulk too. So he needs to eat more to sustain that. But eat smarter, better, and in smaller yet more frequent increments. Fat loss and bulking together is a tough one. But it can be done.

I lost about 36lbs in 3 months on a NO carb diet. It's super tough but works crazy fast. Then... I got pretty sick, lost another 10. Once I got better, I ate shitty, stopped hitting the gym and gain about 15 back over a year. need to get my fat ass back on it though. No more motivation though.

10-12% body fat and 260 Damn that is some Arnold stats right there. Very doable. But damn, that is A LOT of muscle.

What he is trying to do is impossible there's no way around it. You can't be in a calories surplus to bulk an a defecit to slim down it's simple physics. If your trying to gain mass and look leaner you need to lower your carbs and try to remove some of the water weight and eat clean healthy proteins and fats.

Arnold was 240 pounds 5% body fat which is a lot Leaner than 10-12% that's night and day difference.

Not impossible at all (but I will agree very difficult). I do it. Granted I may not have as much fat as he does. But I walk around at about 210-215 daily. But if I have a match I get down to 190-195. And during that phase I intensify my resistance training and up my cardio. Works like a charm. And I bulk up to the point where I look like I should weigh more. But I actually drop.

I know it is not exactly Arnold. But that is very ambitious. I would tell him shoot for 14-18% if I were his trainer. But I say shoot for the moon. Go after that goal.
