Way To Cut Faster

Q: Hello mike i was wondering if there is any special way to 'cut' Muscle faster because i want to look good because im only 15 and not many of the girls i hang out with want a guy thats all bulk you know what im saying?

A: Muscle definition depends on muscle size to some degree (larger muscles are more obviously visible, of course), but even more it depends on the amount of body fat. A person without much muscle mass can look very defined if he has low body fat. When it comes to 'cutting' there's pretty much one way of doing it: gradual weight loss, fat-burning diet, and continued weight training to retain as much of the muscle as possible. The basics are described in my fat-loss article.

But trying to lose any significant amount of weight at your age is a bad idea. I understand about looking good and all, but significant weight loss at your age can stunt your growth, especially if you're not significantly overweight now. Instead I suggest you make sure you eat healthy (lots of whole fruits and veggies. Read my Nutrition article) and be active, anything from sports to weight training. Your body's continuing growth will take care of extra flab if you just give it an opportunity by leading a healthy lifestyle.
