Okay, I eat pretty healthfully, I am 5'5 and weigh 124, I want to get really firm. If I were going to cut one thing out to reach my goal, what would it be if I wanted to see results in two weeks? i don't want to completely cut carbs, I know I need them for my work out, but is there a workout I should focus? I really just want to reduce body fat and get to a healthy 15%.

Thanks,
Rebe

if not already do the following:

1 - breaky to easily be the biggest meal of the day
2 - drink nothing but water and have 2 glasses before each meal and at least 3 litres a day
3 - increase healthy fats with fish oil x 6 grams a day split into 3 dosages
4 - do wts as hard as you can with no sets above 12 reps reaching failure between 8 - 12 reps
5 - keep rest to no more than 30secs between sets and even better use supersets, trisets and giant sets
5 - all exercises to be multi joint exercises...NO SINGLE JOINTS
6 - do 90% of of your exercises in a standing position
7 - try exercises you're qweak at as the body needs to wok harder as it isa weak spot
8 - am meals to be fruit and protein and pm meals to be protein and veg/salad with fats added in duting the day...a 7th meal will be post meal with simple carbs and whey
9 - split workouts into 2/day for 2 fat burning epoc oppurtunities
10 - all cardio to be no longer than 15mins doing intrevals as hard as you can

Hi there,
what kind of results do you want to see in 2 weeks? It's unrealistic to see real noticable results in 2 weeks. To lose a significant amouint of weight in 2 weeks you would have to severely restrict yourself, which would also likely cause muscle wasting.

At your size, losing one pound per week is very decent weight loss. Depending on your current calories (assuming you are eating plenty now) you may want to make a slight reduction. Do you do any high intensity interval training? You might want to incorporate that if you don't currently.

You can try cutting out as many processed foods as you can and eating as close to natural as possible. Balance meals with a carb, a protein and a small serving of a good fat.

Hope that helps.

Sarah
