AGAIN! (Have searched but not found specific answers)

Just want opinions.

Go to gym twice a week atm and play tennis once a week.

My fitness is good now, and i'm not overweight but i've got a bit of "flab" here and there that i could do with losing.

Basically want to tone up and drop the extra fat.

Got some supplements dead cheap today through an aquaintance who works at a health/nutrition shop.

They are WWS (Winning Ways Sports)

Got

http://www.wws.co.uk/thermo-burn.html#customer-reviews as a fat burner

and

http://www.wws.co.uk/protein-powder.html as a post gym recovery/muscle builder.

I'm not looking to be huge just more toned and defined I suppose.

I eat alot of pasta and bread which is why the carb blocker should be good??

Is this shit stuff or okay?

Tbh your best bet would be to keep your carbs and not mess around with any cardio. You can do 10 weeks of toning up at gym and the carbs will help you lift weights for longer. A lot of people always look for something to add to their trainning when tbh you can look more at your technique and how you are doing your weights and will notice a bigger improvement. If your looking to tone up you want to start hitting your fast twitch muscle fibres.

He wants to lose fat so high carbs and no cardio will be best? That's the first time I've heard that. Gradually reducing carbs and a bit of cardio is awesome for fat loss.

Its really not tho. you burn a lot more calliories and convert a lot more fat when lifting weights and with a little bit of reserch you can find out how to do it without putting on masses of muscle. fortuantly i did studdie in sport and have been going to the gym myself and i work purely on strength and tonning unlike others and has made a massive imrprovment.I know carbs are bad for loosing weight but when it comes to training i do you will burn them off well enough. One of the biggest mistakes people make is cutting too much out of their body. when you do that the body goes into starvation mode and will store every bit of what its is lacking so you can make the process take a lot longer by cutting nutriance out thinking its the best thing
