WOW! You look great!
I had stopped eating refined sugar and white flour for a while now, and had lost 8 pounds (with about 90 to go!!!). After hitting a wall, the weight training was essential. You need the muscle for better metabolism, and small amounts of high quality food more often seems to fuel the fire.
No more weight loss as of yet, but my pants are looser and I have dropped a shirt size. That's just in 1 month! Oh, and no more flab hanging from my upper arms.
Do you use supplements? If so, what kinds?
Thank you.
Yes, I am partial to AST's products (www.ast-ss.com), although I buy them from various other sites even cheaper. Their whey protein (VP2) is outstanding, as is their micronized creatine and their glutamine. Those are the main things I take; occasionally a few other various supplements. I have a protein shake and a glass of water mixed with creatine and glutamine right before and right after each weightroom session (called "the bracket method").
