hey,

i am currently training for a marathon in may but i had a few extra pounds on me to begin with. i started exercising regularly and intensely about 3 weeks ago and i've already lost a bit of fat.

i am willing to sacrifice a large frame for a cut and tone body. basically i want to see all of my hard work, not just some of it.

i run for 24-100 min every day and usually weight lift upper body and core about 4-5 times a week.

i currently take no supplements, not even a daily vit. only muscle milk after my runs/workouts.

i need some help determining what type of supplements i need and when to take them. money is not a huge issue.

i am currently 21 years old, 200 pounds, and 6 feet tall. my diet consists of low carbs and high protien. i would like to drop this excess fat as fast as possible.

someone said if i do 1000 crunches (in different variations) a day, i could loose the fat and look toned in about a month. i don't know if i believe this.

enlighten this newb.
