Need some help with a cutting stack:

Any Recommendations?

Stats:
5'10
254
23 years old
21% Body Fat

Diet is decent, and I can handle cutting the crap out, but I have a harder time dropping the weight. -- Any suggestions?

To really maximize the potential of lean muscle mass when cutting it is important to pay attention to the percentage of protein, carbs, and fats your taking in. A really effective way to lose fat quick, and maintain as much lean muscle mass is to have a diet high in protein, high in healthy fats (fish oils, olive oils, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, etc., reduce your overall carboydrate intake dramatically.

something like this: 1.5 grams of protein/pound of lean body mass
.5-.75 grams of fat/ pound of lean body mass
carbohydrate range between 30-100 grams a day, depending on the individual

This is a real quick outline of how it could be done. I suggest you do a little research to get the finer details.

Also, supplementing with high doses of fish oil, BCAA's, will really help you hold on to your muscle.
