hey ray, my original weight was 218 lbs, i went on a raw food diet for about 2 weeks and came down to 200, came off the raw foods and spiked back up to 210, then came down to 200, started working out + exercising + dieting not 100% or consistant but trying to be non the less..anyways from 200 its been 10 weeks and im down to 184 now. anyways my question is i can notice some fat loss, but my belly is still their as well as other spots im just wondering how much i have to drop down to before i can become fit/ toned? cause i dont really want to drop lower then 170 !! any tips or advice as to what i should do?
Hey there.
The more muscle you have, the better your skin looks with it. By this I mean, if you are 10% bf without a set of strong abs, you might look flabby. However if you have some very strong abs...at 10% you will look at lot more ripped. My advice would be to cut as low as possible, then begin a hard bulk where you are attacking those stubborn muscles and forcing them to grow. Generally speaking, 10-12% bf is the threshhold to start seeing visible abs. 8% is the area for a chiseled 6-pack, and 6% is totally ripped. Any lower than 6% is for competition use only.
