Hey all - the question I have is that I need to lost weight and I wanted to know the best way to do that; at the same time I know I've said in other posts some similiar things, but can you lose weight and gain muscle at the same time? My priority is to lose weight so I'm assuming that is directed with cardio and eating healthier with smaller portions but more meals throughout the day. Then also stopping eating at all say by 7pm at night.

I have food stamps so the next time I get money on it is August 5th, so I wanted to know if I could do say a water fast mixed in with cardio every day until then, if that is safe. Then when I get the money, I can buy healthy foods.
