Q: Q 609: I have to admit that my genetic predisposition to being slender was an important factor.My diet was just a basic avoidance of junk food and fast food.I didnt avoid of the healthy foods that are considered fattening like potatoes,fruit juices etc.A diet like that would be too strict for me.I basically did 45 minutes of cardio followed by lower body weight training every other day.but this routine and diet is longer helping me lose weight or fat.
So I have decided to replace some hi-glycemic carbs with low ones like brown rice and wholehweat pasta and added upperbody weightraining.

A: Thanks for posting your program! It sounds like you're doing all the right things and you certainly deserve a lot of credit for doing lower-body weight training -- it is usually quite a bit more painful and less fun than upper body :) Of course it's also highly effective since your legs are where half or more of your muscles are.

It's completely normal that the less fat you have, the harder it is to continue losing it. If you find that your diet approach and whole-body weight training isn't enough, you may want to consider planning out the amounts of food you eat and keep closer track of calories. Good luck!
