08:22 pm - very good fitness article
I've been doing several hours of research every night about diet and nutrition. I've learned an awful lot about everything. Now I just have to put a plan into action!
I stumbled upon this link which I think is very good. It's aimed at bodybuilders but the information can apply to anybody looking to get in shape.

Short Version:
1. Diet and lose fat until your body fat % is around 10% (you should see abs or at least have a very flat stomach). Do strength training to prevent muscle loss during diet.
2. Once you get to 10%bf, eat and exercise properly to build muscle without getting any fatter. If you do it properly, you will always look good, be in shape, and get stronger continuously. And you'll never have to diet again :)
I've already lost 10 lbs in the past 2 months just by changing my diet. I think I'll just keep doing this for a while and see where it takes me...
