missed this. lyle, martin and alan aragon all believe it's better to lean up before adding muscle. that being said, i'm 46 years old, technically i'm losing 8% muscle per year. but i've gained muscle over the last ~15 months- without gear.

Assumptions? You post about diet and health nonstop, which is great. It seems to be all over the place though.
Is this program in line with the program you did a year ago and toned up so much? And then you posted about trying a new program where you did something totally different. And now this fat crushing program.
What am I missing?
I'm not hating at all, trying to figure out what you are doing.

how is it all over the place? a bit of education for you- the human body is wonderfully adept at adapting ;-), your body reacts to stress, if that stress is lifting weights for instance, it responds by growing muscle or getting stronger. after a period of time to catch up, that stress is no longer stress and your results begin to stagnate, requiring changing up the program to create stress again.
the same with fat. the body wants to store fat. you have to bust through plateaus by changing things up. ESPECIALLY when you get to single digit fat levels, it an entire different ballgame when you have 15 pounds of TOTAL fat on your body and want to cut that in 1/2.

One thing I will add in, apologies if its been mentioned, but when you lower carbs, on day two, you start to lose extreme appetite. I know it sounds crazy, but if anything, I find myself sometimes battling to eat anything. Its funny every time I tell someone how easy it is to lower the carbs down. Its like a couple days that are a bit weird for me.
