will it be an easy task for my body to do this>?

Question

i am about 200 lbs 5'10 and very flabby, i am trying to gain muscle. Is it good to lose all the body fat first, lets say drop to about 175-180, and try to gain weight back in muscle, eating lots of protein and taking supplements. I have about 6 months to do this, how big do you predict, (weight) i will be after i lose weight and try to gain muscles(starting from 175-180 trying to gain

Answer 1

Better to just do both at the same time for maximum weight loss. Start a low calorie diet, incorporating lots of protein(shakes and fish with low-zero mercury levels, such as wild salmon) into your diet while staying away from the fatty meats. Lift weights 3 times a week and do cardio 2 times a week for at least 15min a session. Once you lose more of the flab you can focus more on the weight training, but the most important weight control/loss method is still watching the calories.

Answer 2

No, it is not good to lose bodyfat and then gain muscle. You should do them concurrently. Impossible to predict how big you'll be. Eat healthy, clean foods; alternate cardio with weights. You'll gain muscle and lose fat. Good luck.

Answer 3

I would not suggest to both bulk and cut at the same time. Dosn't quite work.

I was in your place once. I personally droped to about 172, and then worked my way back up to about 185 in lean mass. It's a hard feat, but you should really seperate your bulk and cut, most bodybuilders would agree (espically at 200lbs and a high body fat percentage).
