Supplements and Body Fat/Muscle


I have gotten down to my ideal weight am running and lifting weights regularly but am looking to get more muscle definition (not like body builder, but just good tone). I feel from diet and exercise point of view that I am doing OK. Are there any supplements people would recommend to help with the only info I come across is from hard core body builders, and that is not what I am looking for (not trying to go over the top). Any advice?

Re: Supplements and Body Fat/Muscle

if your goal is to "add more definition" then you want to lose fat. generally, the subcutaneous fat (under the skin) is what blurs muscle definition, although intramuscular fat can do it. This can be accomplished through diet modifications. You are not looking for a supplement.

You may want to add a protein supplement, such as whey protein, to your daily diet, but as long as your diet is relatively low in fat and process foods/sugars and the calories are not too high, you should continue to see improvements.
