Septooth · 11-11-2006, 09:16 PM

Hi everyone, Im new to the forums. Im a 30 year old male, 5" 10" and 185 lbs. I have a decent build but I have alot of fat over my muscle that needs to be exercised. I have had a horrible diet for the last 5 years or so ( fastfood, ice cream, cake etc...) I have 4 kids and I would like to be around for awhile to see them grow up and give myself a muscular build to keep the wife happy : ) I dont want to loose the body mass I have but would like to loose the fat and turn what i have into muscle. I am changing my diet as of today and will be commiting to exercise/bodybuilding as much as needed. I have alot of will power and am going to follow thru with this. I am actually quite excited about it. The only thing is, I dont know what to do. I dont want to diet to where I am going to be skinny. I want a diet that will keep me healthy, fat free and give me some mass to work with as I am exercising doing cardio and and bodybuilding. Pretty much I am looking to work on what you would call a beach body. What should my diet consist of? ( I like all foods, Im not picky) What kind of workout schedule should I have? Please help with what ever you can.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
