tbh quitting smoking was what helped me get down below 10% bodyfat much more than anything else. when cardio stops being complete torture, its really easy to get there and stay there.
I quit idk... a few months ago... and I can just run, and run, and run, and run now... I used to have trouble running a block... now I can go at least three miles or so...
Quitting smoking really helped me in the body composition department. From that I kicked all drugs, then alcohol, dropped 20 lbs, and have tons of energy and feel great. only thing I really abuse anymore is caffiene (I chugged down two 12oz redbulls one after the other yesterday before my swim test).
At this point, the diet and everything else are much easier, because when you aren't afraid of running at least a mile once or twice a week (or more) then your diet can be a lot less spartan and work even better... also remember nicotine is a stimulant, all stimulants slow down your metabolism in the long run (which is why I need to kick the caffiene... when school is done I think I will)
