Lost some weight and muscle too :(

[LLP]

All,

I need some advice and wondering if anyone can help. I have been actively pursuing six pack abs for the past 5 weeks now (using iwantmysixpacks.com/abs routine). I lost approx 6 pounds by now and managed to leaned down core area but I realize I lost some muscle too. Help...

Problem:
Lost some muscles while trying to build six pack abs.

goal:
Six pack while retaining all muscle
FYI: I started with 167lbs, 5"9. goal is to get ripped.

Routine:
(follow iwantmysixpack.com/abs)
Monday: [resistant training] Circuit training
Tuesday: RUN - HIIT
Wednesday: Circuit training (If burned out, rest)
Thursday: RUN - HIIT or 10k run depending on weather
Friday: [resistant training] Circuit training



I am wondering should I continue circuit training or switch to heavy weight, low reps to regain muscle. Please helps.


Thank you so much.

LLP

you're not eating enough

Your post workout meal could be the problem. Make sure to have a 4-1 carb to protein ratio, low fat meal or drink within an hour of exercising. For instance low fat chocolate milk with 3-5 grams of creatine. You may also want to change 2 of your circuit days to split heavy superset days.
