So my story is that in the past 8 months I have lost 68lbs. I went from 338 to 270 by changing about 80% of my meals to something healthier. I say 80% because about 4 out of the 21 meal a week I usally eat what I want or as I call it "Fat Boying it out". I have also been going to the gym 3-4 times a week doing mostly cardio (30 minutes on elliptical) with a bit of weight training (30-45 minutes of whatever machines are available) maybe once a week and doing a slow bike ride for a few miles like twice a week. So I would say that I am moderatly active now.
I am going to start weight training more like 3 times a week now to start toning because although I have lost a lot of weight, im still the same shape, just smaller, I still have quite the gut and love handles that are not budging. I look like i have a innertube under my shirt. All my weight was lost in my face, neck arms, chest and calvs. I have shrank quite a bit in the belly but I would like it to really go away.
Anyways, I currently started managing a new store that has a GNC inside it, there is no GNC Staff there so there is nobody to ask.
I woud like to begin some supplements because I have plateued for 2 weeks now at 270. Im always reading the bottles of supplements and have a basic idea of what i think would work but i dont know whats same to combined together. The onlt supplement i take at the moment is a daily protien shake for lunch (Muscle Milk) or a protien bar. From time to time ill take a ripped fuel pill before a work out.
Here is what I was considering in their recommended doses
A fatburner, Hydroxycut or something else the people would reccomend
MRM CLA 1250fat
Fish Oil for Omega 3's (Because I dont eat fish at all)
Mens one a day
Continue with the protien shake for lunch
Possible muscle builder like creatine or something with amino acids? (this is where i get confused)
My goal is to burn fat and gain muscle to reshape my pear shaped pizza dough body. I have been going strong for 8 months so i have committed to the lifestlye change and it feels great, Im ready to kick it up a notch now!! I would like to hear your inputs of an effective plan for me. If there is something I missed or am I going overboard,
