Look into keto. I've gone from 24% to 14% BF in 3 months (lost 30 pounds). I have not lot any muscle nor have I gained any, but that's because I haven't worked out at all during that time.

My diet is bacon and eggs (easy as hell to cook), fish, chicken or steak, and a low carb veggie on the side, such as asparagus or spinach.

Once I hit 10%, I intend to up my protiens and start working out.

I used

www.eatthismuch.com

It gives recipes, cooking instructions does all your macros and micros and if you don't like something you can remove it from the list and reroll.

You CANNOT do 5 days a week of full body exercises. 3 at the most. Your body NEEDS to rest and rebuild the ripped muscle tissues for 1-2 days.

Eliminate sugary junk food entirely. Eat plenty of veggies and meats, and make sure to stay light on the carbs. Avoid excessive consumption of foods like bread and pastas. Avoid pre-processed foods as much as possible. Contrary to popular belief, natural sugars found in fruits are perfectly fine. Clean carbs like rice and corn DO NOT compare to crappy carbs like bread and pasta. Aside from that, your diet is relatively flexible. Your body will process and create the proteins it needs, so the requirement to consume half your body weight in whey protein is basically a myth. Broccoli and milk contain enough protein themselves, and will absorb much easier. Don't be afraid to eat fatty foods, as long as they are natural. Completely avoid 0-fat or 0-sugar foods too.

The key is to ween yourself off junk foods and addition to carbs. Your body simply doesn't need them as much as it thinks. Remember weight loss is at least 80% diet.

Ok so here's the thing, all these different internet youtube programs suck for one reason or another, and all the diets like keto are unnecessarily extreme, but that's not the point. The point is that right now you're in the stage of contemplating, you need to be in the stage of action. I don't care what diet you start on or what workout program you start on (why do you even care if it's a 5x5? that's such a weird /r/fitness request). JUST START.

When I first started I was on a Starting Strength style program and after several months realized my arms weren't getting bigger but my thighs and midsection were. I was definitely stronger, but wasn't happy with the way I looked. From there I started adjusting my program and diet with what I had learned from my own experience. You will do the same.

Advice: Pick a program by the end of the week. I don't care which one. They all have flaws. Pick a diet by the end of the week. I don't care which one. They all have flaws. Start and go for 3-6 months before you judge the results, then adjust as needed.

Program - Jason Blaha's Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 Novice Program

Diet - 5 Times a day small balanced meals with complex carbs, protein and healthy fats (Olive Oil, Omega 3 etc.)

These are the basics, nobody is gonna handle you answers on silver plate, go do your research, experiment and see what suits you best.
