I need the communities help-What macronutrient formula is best for increasi
Most of the body building literature talks about a standard formula of 50% Carbs, 25% Protein, and 25% Fat, but that seems like it is more for the advanced bodybuilders, etc. I am simply trying to lose weight and maybe build a little muscle in the process to look good, feel good, and live healthier. I am in a pre-diabetic state so I need to watch my carb consumption anyway because of my blood sugar. Should I be consuming more protein and less carbs and fat? Hey guys, I need your help! Thanks
In addition, what are the best supplements for fat loss or ramping up my metabolism. I am currently using Hydroxycuts Hardcore, but are there better supplements?

My suggestion is to eat 4-8 oz of protein with 1-3 servings of green veggies every three hours. I would avoid all other carbs until you are close to goal weight.
Drink lots of water and avoid all calorie containing drinks. I would also avoid diet drinks as the artificial sweeteners can cause problems with weight loss.
I would avoid stimulant weight loss products unless you hit a plateau or are trying to get those last few pounds off. Having said that, I am enjoying Cytolean by Gaspari Nutrition.
