OKay, so i started working out about 5 weeks ago now my aim is to bulk up and at the same time lose my body fat, gut and stuff. I go to the gym 3 times a week with a days rest inbetween workouts.
Everying morning i wake up, have a protein shake then head off to work. 30 min before my workout i take a fat burning energizer pill White Lightning which was recommended to me by the guy i brought the shake off.

I then walk to the gym, 15 min walk, and do a 90-120 min weight workout mixed with situps and stretchs.
I then walk home and have my second shake, then eat my dinner which after a workout i usally have 2 eggs hard boild in salad.
Following a workout in the morning as stated before i have a protien shake for breeky and off to work.

I have never done this sort of thing before so i am unsure if this wil get my the resutls i want, if anyone has any suggestions or things i could add to my routine to help me reach goal i would much appriciate it.

And just for the record, i do believe i am seeing results, no one has said anything but i seem to see it doing something and i believe i have lost some fat.

Stop. It doesn't work that way.

To lose body fat, you need to expend more calories than you eat.
To bulk up, you need to consume more calories than you spend. After all, calories are the body's fuel and building blocks. If you have no blocks, you can't grow.

Both require different eating habits, and slight tweaks to the training routine (though diet is a strong factor).
 
Good point malkore.
However, if you focus on muscle gain, it'll build up metabolic rate and you'll burn fat easier.

Its up to you if you want to prioritize on bulking up first and focus on fat loss later(experience maybe some fat loss as a side benefit) or put focus on fat loss first.
If you want a balanced 2 pronged approach, then definitely add cardio.
 
You can build muscle and burn fat at the same time.

You do need to eat protiens (chicken, fish etc) plus your carbs plus your protien shakes, this will help you build up.

If you add about an hour hard cardio at the end of each weights workout and cardio on your rest days you will see your body fat reducing, your overall weight may go up but your body fat will go down.

Get yourself a good diet plan from your fitness instructor and stick to it.

As for the fat pills i would throw them as they don't work. Try cayenne pepper, that will heat you up from the inside and will burn extra calories.
 
Ok, i thank you all for your input, just to note the White Lightning pills i take, i forgot the name, but they do that, heat your core temp, i sweat like thier is no tomorrow durning my workout, my shirt is completly drenched by the end.

I was speaking with a guy from work who has been going to gym for quite some time, just to note im not going to disregard what all of you have said, but he was saying that durning the days i do not work out, i should eat high proiten during the day, and the days i do work out, eat high carb food before my workout to give me some fuel. could this work?

Also i was going to start some cardio ( running ) on the days im not weight training, will this burn muscle more then fat?

Fitness instructors are NOT qualified to give anyone a diet plan. They can make suggestions on basic theory of a healthy overall diet and help their clients make healthier choices by educating them on the difference between 'simple' carbs and 'complex' carbs, etc. A registered DIETICIAN (not 'nutritionist') is the only person qualified to give out a meal plan. I don't know if these rules are different in different countries, but as far as I'm aware, anyone off the street can call themselves a nutritionist.
