Q: hey mike i got a question if i eat a good cereal for breakfas like honey bunches of oats or somthing like that and for lunch i eat a salad with bacon bits and some fruit and ceasar italion fat free dressing for lunch and for dinner eat a steak or some other kind of protien is that a good weightloss diet

A: No, that's not a very good diet to lose fat. Fill out http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/fitnessguide specifying 'Lose Fat' as your goal to see a good sample fat-loss diet. Keys to a good fat-loss diet are: several (5, at least) very small meals/day, a good amount of protein in every meal (lean meat, chicken, fish, cottage cheese, etc.), LOTS AND LOTS of green veggies, and no processed foods. You'll want to avoid heavily processed foods like breakfast cereals, salad dressings (even if fat-free), or bacon bits. Instead have plain old-fashioned oatmeal (or Cheerios in the worst case), skinless chicken breast, a little olive oil for the salad.

Remember that your goal is specfically to lose fat and fat only. A 'weightloss' diet like the one you posted will lose you a lot of weight, but a lot of it will be muscle, not fat and your metabolism will shut down pretty quickly on a diet like that. Once your metabolism shuts down you'll stop losing weight and will be vulnerable to gaining new fat. To avoid this scenario, follow a diet like the one recommended by the Guide and do weight lifting.
