If anyone knows a way to burn fat and build muscle fast please respond

It’s actually not possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. 
 
To lose fat you have to:
·         Do low or high intensity cardio (depending on your intensity, durations, and workout schedule)
·         Lower calories by eating a high protein, low carbohydrate and low fat diet
·         Lift weights and train hard.
 
To gain muscle you have to:
·         Do little or no cardio
·         Eat more calories by increasing your carbohydrate, fats and proteins
·         Lift weights and train HARD
They are two very different goals… You can’t do both at the same time… You can first gain muscle then try to lose fat…. But you can’t do both
 
Once you figure out your realistic goals, I will be more then happy to help you and give you advice on how to reach your goals
 
 
What are your stats?
What does your current diet look like?
What does your training routine look like?
What supplements are you taking?
 
Good luck

i dont usually try and lose fat while gaining muslce. usually one or the other.

What do you mean?
Are you saying that when you try to gain muscle you end up losing fat??

i agree to this, but i still try to keep a dry look at all times, even during a bulking stage.

Hey Meatsack
 
What is your method/training routine for maintaining “a dry look at all times, even during a bulking stage”
 

30 mins of cardio a day; for myself I like to set the tread mil on a incline of 12% and a speed of 4.0 this is likea fast pace walk. This is going to shread fat if done consistantly. This type of cardio wont break down and muslce like regular runnnung would.

Do you do your cardio before or after weights???

i agree 100% with LLtrainer. but to try to balance out the 2 your best bet would be to eat as clean as possible wile increasing you cals.  let us know what you come up with.  Good luck

I don’t agree that it’s impossible to do both, it just takes
a lot of really hard work and discipline.The two most important things
would be to train hard and eat clean.
Instead of completely
cutting your carbs and fats, try limiting the calories from one group
in each meal. For example, try pairing your protein with only
carbohydrate (within reason), or only with fat (no pasta/bread/grains,
but use a good source of fat with a salad).
You can also look into carb cycling, which basically means only eating carbs on days you lift heavy/train hard, limiting carb intake on non-training days to before noon (the time your body can best process carbs), and getting the majority of your carbs using your pre-, peri- and post-workout nutrition.
HIIT is essential.
Give some of those a try and keep us posted on results!

I agree with pete, you def can gain muscle at the same time as lossing weight its very hard and it will take longer to do both t the same time. For myself personlly I like to try to do this becuase I like to keep a dry lean look but at the same time I dont want to lose any of my size.

I agree aswell. I like to try to do both at the same as well.

It is almost impossible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time.  That is why they call it a bulking phase and a cutting phase. 
 
I agree that it takes extreme measures to do this and I believe those extremes measures include a form of steroids or growth hormone.  In order to gain muscle you have to eat more calories (bulking phase)… How is it possible to cut and bulk at the same time???
 
 
If it is at all possible then you have to be genetically gifted or EXTREMLY dedicated… it is very difficult. 
 I don’t believe an average person could do both at the same time… That is my take
 

Ok, well it turns out that I had to cut weight for wrestling i dropped from 210 to 185, and now my strength needs some work to rebuild what i lost over football and wrestling season, what should i be eating and doing to gain muscle, yet not gain any of the fat back?

It’s almost impossible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time so figure out your goals first

Thanks again

Saw your MuscleDog article on Carb Cycling, Pete—good tips!  Here is the article link for everyone: http://www.muscledog.com/article/view/79/CARB_CYCLING__THE_HOLY_GRAIL#
 

For the sake of this argument…If you have experienced “bulking and cutting at the same time” or know someone who as successfully implemented this… PLEASE SHARE!!!
 
What hard work and dedication did you/they do to accomplish this?
 Dazzle me!!, because I am still not convinced that this was none without illegal drugs or some miracle genetic makeup…
