burning and toning

[Sparky]

I've been running, and dieting....been holding back on the lifting for a bit.
I noticing a small amount of toning...I really want to loose weight.
I was around 98kg (215lb) I'm presently around 86kg (190lb)
and then once I'm down to my goal of around 77kg (170lb).
then gain some decent lean mass...

what's really the best way to loose fat, and tone up...

I've cut out all soda, and wasted calories...but I still eat a decent meal 3x a day...and a small snack between such as fruit, cottage cheese, oats, nuts, but in acceptable portions.

can anyone recommend something

Well people would need to see a lay out of what you eat each day for a week, plus loosing fat as you know is mostly down to burning extra cals off through cardio based workouts..

To increase you basic metabolic rate you need to add lean muscle so that more cals are burnt during resting..

so still lift weights a bit, but not hardcore, and still keep up with the running for cardio?...I can do that...
I eat dinner late around 6:30-7pm
if I eat and early dinner, I'm hungry again around 8 or 9

Defo keep lifting weights, lift hard & do cardio hard, the fat will come off if your diet is right...
