A trainer at the gym has recommended two things to help burn fat faster...
First is interval training and the second is cutting out carbs for an evening meal, but making sure it's protein rich.
He said that the protein will make you crave food less and I can still eat carbs (obviously not chips or white bread often lol) for other meals, but in the evening if they aren't burnt off then they kinda sit inside you...
I'm willing to give it a go for sure, as I enjoy a challenge and know that some days I can still go out with mates or whatever... I mean I'm just cutting carbs out of an evening meal, not altogether I guess...
But was wondering if anybody else has cut carbs for evening meals and if it helps get the weight off.
I don't eat a lot anyway and am going to try the intervals in my training.

But so what? is laying down a little fat at night that gets stripped off during the day a bad thing? I'm not convinced it is - I think it lets the body know it isn't starving.
Protein, fibre and water are good tricks for making you feel full, and will make it easier to stop eating without feeling empty - but you are dieting - you are eating less than your body needs, your body will be telling you to eat more. And, yes, converting the nocturnal fat back to energy will contribute to the feeling.
I understand the science behind no carbs on an evening but its so hard, I love pasta. I try and replace my evening carbs with a protein shake after the gym as I cant be bothered to make anything after the gym.
Definitely good advice, but it I think the no evening meal carbs rule can be stretched a little- it just depends on how easy you will find it to eat protein. I am not a big meat eater so have to rely on other sources and shakes.

How much fat would you like? I have about two stone going spare
2 stone? dosen't look like it to me
I always used to joke with my mum (who wants to lose weight) it would be sooo cool if you could do a liposuction and then... reverse liposuction I know it's fantasy, but still....
Bear in mind that I am 6'0 so it's not as noticable as it would be on you
Ahhh fair enough, you do have an extra foot hehe cuz i was thinking 'damn, where'd you put that 2 stone? on an extra bit i can't see??'
F*ck me that was intense, I thought I was gonna get high. lol!
Well I am now knackered, more tired than I have been for a long time. Hope this works!
