• Answer:

  Your diet may be working against you. You need to be focused on fat loss not muscle gain with supplements help at his stage. You need to make smart food choices to keep your biochemistry in balance to promote the fat burning process. Strive for a well balanced diet of natural fats (nuts, olives, avocados...), proteins (not necessarily meats), and lower range GI carbohydrates (veggies, berries, some fruits). Minimize or avoid wheat products, starchy foods, and food and beverage products that list sugar (any type) as one of the first three ingredients. Opt for fresh foods rather than processed foods. Dr. Eric Berg of YouTube fame says there are four different fat storage body types, and that the diets to loose depend on the body type. Research any terms that are not clear or questionable.
