<p>as you can see theres a lot of conflicting information. that's cause your question is too complicated to be answered in just one thread. if you do research on the internet (which you should) you'll still find a lot of conflicting information, so it's your job to try different things and also figure out for yourself whether the source you got the information from is reliable. Here, thedude gave good info on diet, but I would say that you should start a weightlifting program. That will probablly be more effective than cardio for achieving your goals. But that's not to say you shouldn't do cardio; you should definitely do both.</p>
<p>a good place to read is the forums at <a href="http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com%5B/url%5D">www.bodybuildingforyou.com</a> but u still have to discern the credibility of the people; some of them have no clue what they're talking about.</p>
