Hi there, I hope this is in the right thread but please forgive me if not.
I'm looking for a bit of advice on lifting.
I've recently hit the gym extremely hard and over 6 months I've lost 4 stone by adopting a calorie controlled diet and done nothing but cardio. I'm now 12 stone and don't want to lose any more weight as my height 6' is making me look skinny basically and I don't want that. I still have some body fat around my waist and belly which is minimal but still enough to cover a defined stomach. I'm really unsure of how to proceed now as cardio alone to lose that little bit of flab is going to make me look seriously ill. I've started lifting weights now to try and gain muscle and define a shape a little better. The problem I'm facing now is what should I eat now that I'm lifting as it was easy just not eating much and doing cardio to reach a goal but I'm now thinking I need to change my mindset completely so as I can gain muscle whilst still trying to lose the last bit of fat, should I be doing any cardio at all? Just weights? What should I be eating? When etc.
Sorry for the long winded question and and advice on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
