What diet can i follow to get a body fat level under 10 percent?
Im at about 17 percent body fat and im 20 years old. I am doing interval training now and i was wondering what diet would be best to start showing abs? would a low carb diet work? or a 1500 calorie diet? or any advice from people below 10 percent what diet gets results the fastest thanks!
Hi Ethan.
Make sure that though your are getting less calories, you are also getting plenty of protein. I suggest that you eat lean meat like chicken, grass fed beef, and pastured pork. Those are food with high nutrient content but can give you plenty of protein to help you develop muscles. Also grass fed meats are rich in CLA, an essential fatty-acid that helps burn fat while increasing muscle mass.

Good Luck!
Eat chicken, fish, brown rice, beans, vegetables, fruits, egg whites, etc. Anything you know is healthy. Don’t eat most things from the freezer section and try and just get a good amount of protein, a low amount of carbs (yet enough to fuel your physical activity) and between 1800-2200 calories per day. Exercise about 45 mins per day 4-6 times per week with anything from brisk walking, to running, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, or anything that has a low risk for injury. The best thing to do for you would be something low intensity like walking or cycling until you get under 15% bodyfat to reduce risk of joint damage. Good luck.

Its really all about calories and the number of calories depends on your age, height, weight, metabolism ect. But eat less than your body burns and you’ll lose weight. Remember you burn calories all day long doing nothing at all.
