kaizen Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Guys,Very excited to be here. First off, I applaud you all for becoming vegans/raw vegans. I used to be eating all kinds of food, but right now eliminated meat of my diet and part of my foods are natural and other would be whole grain. I wanted to run by you guys for an opinion. I started with ' Body for Life' program 10 weeks ago. Some where in the middle I hired a trainer for perfecting my form and technique. I am doing 3 days of cardion and 3 days of weight training. I have attched a sample mean plan with this. My main concern is my fat loss is not that big as I had expected. I expected about 5% body fat reduction. But I have acheived less than 2%. Can you guys help me out here? I am 32 years old Indian living in US, started with 22.1% Body Fat. ThanksKaizen.

Fallen_Horse Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Depending on your size and activity level, you might be getting too many or too few calories. What are your stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRardB Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I would probably eat more carbs, less fat, and a little less protein, but like Fallen_Horse said, knowing your body type/weight/height/etc. would help us better help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
