Hi,
I started grad school in September and started following Starting Strength with good results. I went from 165 to 175 lbs; I'm around 5'9 tall. I got my squat up to 295, deadlift up to 385 and bench up to 215.
Because of grad school, I've also went from a job that had me on my feet for 8+ hours a day to sitting on a computer all day long. My pants are mostly 31" waist and they're starting to get a bit snug. A couple pairs no longer fit. If I had to guess, I would say that I'm around 15% bodyfat.
Since summer is coming up, I'd like to start trimming up a bit. I was thinking of trying IF and dropped all gluten. I've tried Paleo before and it's not for me. I just had no energy on the diet and my workouts really suffered.
What are the more effective ways to start dropping a few percent body fat while being able to keep up the intensity in the gym?
