do you guys think it's safe to be doing HIIT everyday?
I'm also lifting everyday as well working out different muscle groups (tris/chest/shoulders 1 day, biceps/back/legs another day, I do ab ripper-x every other day too)
I've also cut out simple carbs and eating more veggies and fruits...lots of chicken, lean meats, tons of water, flax seeds with morning cereal, lots of eggs..I'm thinking if I should get some protein powder as well

what do you guys think? thanks for the help!
HIIT every day is too much. You should do what I'm doing - full body weights 3 times a week, each followed by a HIIT session. Work your way up to 15 mins of HIIT. Drop carbs to under 100g. Once you have reached a bit of a plateau, add eca or do a more extreme diet for 4 weeks.
