Here it goes,

I've always Been an active yet lazy Person.. Between Kindergarten and 5th grade I wasn't the healthist kid on the block (I had a 2nd Chin). Well then I got into Middle School Wrestling and I Got my a$$ moving. I probably lost about 40 pounds and my Body Fat Percentage went from 25% to 9.7% (As of November of 07) But my problem is I Have HORRIBLE Eating Habits. I usually nearly starve myself in wrestling. I also don't work out after wresting. All that hardwork I get in the wrestling season I lose in the offseason. Then I have to work out HARDER to get into BETTer shape... To fix this I Joined Football.. Wreslting usually goes intbetween September-Febuary and football from April-December. But Even with Football On weekends I find myself Lounging around the house in my southpark PJ's. I've lost a lot of fat but I still have a little "chunk" left. So Here's the goal

1) Get muscle for Wrestling
2) Get Endurance and tonement for Wrestling
3) Get speed for football

I have a gym membership with a fairly nice weight room, Racqutball courts (Which I play), and pool. BUT I HATE RUNNING. I absoutlly hate running so much. So my questions are

1) What's a good diet That'll help me lose fat and gain muscle
2) What weight routine should I do to get my muscle
3) Finally what are some alternatives to running that'll get rid of my Gut. I wouldn't mind swimming everday to get rid of running

Hi there I think I have some answers to your Q's
1) A good diet is all based on your body, in actuallity some foods that a good for one person aren't very good for another. So when it comes to diets don't follow what was good for other people such as the Berenstien or the Atkins those are really NOT very good diets for your body. But I can recommend you eat proteins til' lunch and then carbs for the rest of the day. Cut out the cookies (you don't have to do this entirely just have one or two not the entire box). Eat healthy foods, there aren't specific foods that will help you loose weight but they will help you not gain it back. :)
2) High Weight Low Rep
3) Well there's swimming which is good that works your entire body, but there is also biking or the cross trainer. I would highly recommend a spin class. I go and they are amazing core and cardio work outs.

BTW if you want to get rid of flab you have to do more cardio, you can do the muscle training but that will only tone the muscle under the fat the fat won't really go away. So you have to do something like biking, etc. (which is cardio :P)

Hope this help <3

AS WELL stay away from the alcohol it makes the internal organs swell up and gives you a gut

When you say High weight low rep would 3 sets of 7 be good?
Also Spin Class?

More like 5 sets of 3 you want a weight that will make you huff. Spin class is like a still biking class with an instructor they cost little like 2 dollars or something.

Swimming is Cardro Correct?

Yup
