You don't need to lift weights every day. 2-3 times a week is plenty as long as you are always increasing the amount you lift and eating lots of protien and low fat. That has managed to keep me between 11.2-12.9% body fat with

And actually, the spike in insulin that beer provides is excellent for catalyzing the protein back into your muscles. So if you eat a high-protein meal right after a workout, beer can actually help you rebuild that muscle right away!
So even the "bad" carbs can work to your advantage if consumed at the right time.

I may have to try the 2-3x a week lifting thing. . . at my best I go 5-6 days a week (mandatory 1 day rest), and chopped a lot off in the fat dept. On the other hand, I don't hit the same muscle groups two days in a row. . . so, yeah, it's fundamentally the same thing probably ain't it crap I'm rambling I need to work out.

When I'm money, I can drop 2 inches off my waist in a month, then I plateau. . . the whole kicker is, I get going, then I have a bunch of night gigs and rehearsals for 2-3 weeks (which throws my sleep off) and then I'm back to square one.
My biggest problem at this point is scheduling + eating on the run.
