How to Lose Bulk (Need Weight Loss Not Muscle Gain)

[richyromford]

I have had personal trainers most of them said heavy weights are great for losing weight. I'm 282 lb (approx 20st). my body fat percentage is 27.5% and my lean muscle mass is 199.8 lbs. Now i'm a bit lost as to what to do to lose weight. if I had no fat (which if occurred i'd be dead), i would have to lose approx 25% body weight as pure fat = 15st. So lets say I managed to get down to half my body fat percentage (approx 12.5%) - then I would have to lose half of 25%/5 stone = 2.5 stone. I understand that there may be slight variations in these calculations, but the idea should be correct (unless i've made a noob mistake). So i'd be a very healthy 17.5 stone man - pretty ripped with 12.5 % body fat. But I seem to put on bulk when I do weights - i already look like a bear of a man. Doctors charts (which do not take into account frame) put me at ideal 12.5 stone - impossible! - but I would like to get down to 15st or even 14 1/2 - What style of training program will get me there?? because I am at a complete loss. I understand the theory that muscle burns calories - but don't want anymore size. I see plenty of people in the gym trying to get bigger - i infact want to get less bulky - My diet isn't perfect but do eat lots of fresh chicken salmon - diet could be improved on IMO. In my teens i did quite a lot of weights and grew - it seems now i'm told to eat the same kind of things (portion sizes?) and train the same way - I don't want to grow anymore. Any advice for PT's welcome
