I'm currently 5'5, 175 lbs., size 34 pants, and looking to lose about 20 lbs. of fat, but at the same, gain some muscle. First step for me would have to be change my diet, considering I pig out at least 5 times a week. I need advice on a strict diet to follow. I'm going to start working out in April after my job falls through, so I need a minimalistic (sp?) diet to start losing weight before intense exercising. Thanks for the help.
Also, what weight machines are considered equivalent to the traditional bench press?

As for build, I'm guess I'm going to be trying to burn excess fat while keeping as much muscle as I can, and then I can start worrying about muscle mass.
Won't comment on the dieting because I have the most horrendous diet you could ever imagine, but I would say don't bother at all with the machines. Free weights are far superior in every way. I made the mistake of starting off with machines because I thought it would be good to build a strength base for moving onto free weights. Machines are just a complete waste of time unless if you're injured or rehabbing. Just focus on your form when you're starting out, the weights will pile on later. Don't be embarrassed if you have to start light, the only person you're competing with is yourself. Compound lifts are key, and don't focus too much on a single muscle group, like the bench press/curl monkeys. Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe is a good place to start if you're trying to build some muscle. Gaining muscle mass will help to raise your metabolism and burn more fat than purely cardio, so make sure you spend some time in the weight room.Originally Posted by knnyngo
