Good luck DEAC. Started a diet today myself. Wanting to get down to 190 from 210. I am tall guy ( 6"3) so I already look skinny but really just trying to get in shape and replace some fat with muscle.
That's actually impossible. You can't gain muscle while on a diet, physically impossible. You can cut the fat back to see the muscle but you won't gain any. You will probably actually lose some...
Once you get to your ideal weight, eat clean and gain some lean muscle.
DEAC good luck. Never understand these fads though. Eat healthy and exercise. No other magic needed
