share. learn. thrive!

Hi!

I have been on a plant-based diet for almost a year.  Overall I am quite pleased with the changes, however, I would like to lose more body fat.  I am fairly muscular, 5'7, 125lbs, and 21.9% body fat.  I'd love to get to around 18%.  I am wondering the best way to do it??  Increase protein??  Decrease overall calories??  I'm really not sure.  I try to eat 50 grams of protein/day.  Any tips welcome!

Cardio, cardio, cardio.  Do not take in more than 70g of sugar a day coming from fruits or junk.  Two pieces of fruit like an apple and a cup of strawberries is about the most you should do if you are wanting to cut some fat.  Eat every 2-3 hours so your blood sugar does not spike when you eat something.  If you watch your sugar and get on the cardio you will see results.  Drink about a gallon of water a day it will help aid in digestion and flush fat cells.
