To be honest, i find just by increasing the cardio i do and cutting back on my fat in take a bit, i soon loose the body fat. Earlier this year i lost about 20lb in 8 weeks just by doing exactly this. I didnt bother counting every calorie, trying any fad diets, or even looking at the gi value of the food i ate.

whats wrong with training twice a day, if you have the time that is?

Some people have diffrent metabolisms and some need to watch what they eat and others dont.
What applies for one does not apply for all.
If you have a hard time losing weight then you have to use an approach geared twards that. A bit of trial and error will refine your dieting needs.

If you want to learn how to diet then pick somebody with similar body types and lifestyles then model after them. This success can be monitored and measured. If it works then stick with that.

But, I can say that what works for my twin brother works for me, and visa versa.

Hi Mate - I don't get that. I am 14.5% body fat at the moment, and I don't do enough cardio really (hate it).

What is the normal bf for the average male?

Depends on the age.
about 14-17% would be ok.
The older you are the higher potentially it could be.

Here is a body fat calculator. It is just ballpark and only for refrence.
