I am trying to get back into shape, and I used to lift alot and was alot thinner. Should I concentrate on anaerobic activity and try to put on the muscle first, then try to do cardio to get rid of the fat, or should i try to diet hard and burn the fat off first before I get into the heavy lifting?

combine healthy eating with lots of cardio and weight lifting.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

It's almost impossible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time so bulk up first and then "cut" after your down bulking.

you can do both at the same time start the weight lifting and increase your protein intake to increase muscle to burn the fat off decrease your carbohydrates intake. good luck

, My cousin has been taking the Acai Berry for some months and he or she has dropped over 40 lbs. that's incredible how properly a fruit from the Amazon can artwork as a weight-loss supplement.

I heard that can happen by eating ice cream and watching Jerry Springer on the sofa.
