Well first off is don't starve yourself to much, or you will slow down your metabolism. So make sure you are taking random mini breaks from your diet, and don't try to lose it to fast. IMO the best way to lose fat is cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast, it sucks at first, but u will grow to love it. Wake up, take a fat burner if u chose so, then do your cardio 20-30 mins later. Aswell once you get down to the final 5 pounds or so, sometimes cortisol levels are really high, and a cortisol blocker might help with the last stretch. Good luck man, let us know how it goes.

Try doing some HIIT cardio sessions, works great.

why wait 20-30 mins to do morning cardio? Why couldn't you just get up and go?

that's only if your taking a thermo fat burner, give it a while to kick in.

im not tryin to be a downer, but isn't your goal a little unrealistic? if im not mistaken, u need to under 10% to show the six pack, and losing 10% in just over a month seems a little extreme. im not sayin dont try to lose the weight, but i just think u should spread ur goal over a slightly longer time period, like maybe two months? then again, 157 at 5'10" doesn't seem like 20%.

in any event, good luck reachin ur goal and keep up the hard work!

ok i agree with what everyone is saying that this goal is a little un realistic, but im going to try to lose as much fat as possible and about the BF% i dont know, but thats what my digital scale says and i know its not accurate.BUT ARE THERE ANY TIPS OF HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT FASTER????

Should Morning Cardio Be Low Intensity, High Intensity, Of High Intensity Interval Training????

i usually do low intensity empty stomach. If i'm going to be doing high intensity, i usually have a shake before hand, just to save as much muscle as possible. Aswell low intensity uses fat starage for energy, high intensity uses food energy. But i geuss if there is no food for energy it will use stored fat.

For your goals I would say,

-All weight and cardio sessions should be HITT style.
-Drink BCAA's before and after your cardio and before after and during your weight training.
-take 3-6 grams fish oil per day spread out over breakfast, lunch and dinner.
-Be sure your getting at least 200 grams of quality protein per day.
-Stay on a low carb diet, but have a "carb up" meal twice per week. For this meal, eat a large bowl of Oatmeal, or a large sweet potato, or a large bowl of brown rice. The meal should have about 75-100 grams of complex carbs in it.
-EAT CLEAN!!! (most important) NO CHEAT MEALS.

Good luck!

157lbs @ 20% BF...thats say you have 31.4 pounds of bodyfat.

To get to a point where you abs begin to show would be close to 10%...that would mean losing 15.7lbs and no muscle. Bring you down to 141.3lbs at 10% and 5'10.

You sig says your a high school athlete. What is the sport? I think you should be more concerned with putting on size and strength than losing fat.

I'm glad someone finally said it. Either his estimate of 20% bf is way off, or he is gonna have to get pretty small @ 5'10" to have abs showing. I'd say just bulk to like 180lbs then cut up man.
