The Fight Between Weight Loss And Fat Loss Is A False One
Obesity rates in the U. S. and other developed countries are rising. People are too quick to utter the phrase “I think I need to lose a little weight.” The problem is that most people don’t think about what they want to lose. They should be focusing on fat.
There are only three viable options for basic weight loss:
Remove water from your cells and organs
Reduce subcutaneous fat and inner body fat
Build muscle surrounding your skeletal structure to burn fat
Diets usually first draw water from the body. The term “water weight” refers to the five or ten pounds that are removed at the start of a serious diet. It makes the dieter more enthusiastic when the weight comes of quickly in the beginning.
The best diets show you how to lose body fat gradually and carefully pace the process one pound at a time. This means losing fat instead of muscle.
You can lose your muscle mass during an intense diet. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn daily. Your body even burns calories while you sleep. If you lose muscle mass during dieting this can be disastrous for your internal organs including that most important muscle; your heart.
You want to lose fat over muscle. Short duration high intensity weight training will begin the process of burning calories and decreasing your fat cells.
Eat a balanced series of meals through the day. I recommend six small meals that include protein, clean carbohydrates monounsaturated oil and fiber.
Take two of your meals in meal replacement form. A protein drink or breakfast shake for two of your meals will enhance your liver function. Since you are changing your lifestyle, go ahead and purchase the right vitamin and mineral supplements for your age and sex.
Be aware of your body type. Endomorphs tend to hold more fat for longer periods and store their fat in their face and neck, belly, hips and thighs. They are the circle.
Ectomorphs find it hard to gain muscle mass, and even when they are fat, you could hardly tell. They are the line.
Mesomorphs are the ones everyone want to be. They are muscular, tend to shed fat easily and pack on muscle just as easily.
You can beat the fat by focusing on the real problem. Once you take advantage of your unique strengths and support the weak points, you will be able to see quicker results. You won’t have to starve yourself or deprive your taste buds. You are on your way to a happier healthier leaner body.
