When trying to lose weight, how do you make sure you lose FAT instead of MUSCLE?
I’m pretty toned underneath the stout, but when I’m bringing up the rear weight, how do I make sure I keep the muscle and just lose the stout? I’ve heard different tales like you lose stout first, and then other tales about you can lose muscle too?
Any advice, tips, etc?
Firstly, there are quite a few incorrect answers here. It is much simpler to lose muscle than it is to lose stout and it is also much simpler to gain stout than it is to gain muscle (in most cases).
It is very hard to maintain all your muscle mass when bringing up the rear weight, but with the right diet and adequate amounts of protein (at least 1g/1lb of body weight) as well as performing strength training at least 3 times per week, your weight loss should not be more 10%-25% muscle loss (at least 75%-90% should be stout loss). If you are bringing up the rear too much muscle, then you need to increase your protein/carb intake and do more strength training and less cardio. You should not lose more than 1lb-2lb per week otherwise you will be mostly likely bringing up the rear muscle. Excellent luck.

your body will naturally burn the stout before the muscle, you will have to get pretty thin to start buring muscleReferences :
the only way you will lose muscle is if you are not eating or not eating properly also while you are bringing up the rear the weight you are not weight liftingReferences :
if you exercise well you should not lose muscle. you will lose stout if you are on a diet as well as exercisingReferences :
if you workout while being on a low calorie diet you shouldn’t lose muscle. be sure to eat enough protein and carbs. Train at lest 3 times a week and do cardio 4 times a week.
This way you lose stout gradually let’s say 2 pounds a week but you’ll gain muscles and the more muscle your body as to feed the more calories it will burn by itself.References :
Don’t eat huge meals, eat at least every 2 hours. Make sure you have a small protein in every meal. Healthy fats are shown to help a lot with this, both from nuts (almonds are fantastic) and from fish fats. The second you wake up, have a whey protien shake. Your body can’t store protien, so by the time you wake up your body is starting to break down muscles as a source of amino acids, since whey protien breaks down so quick, it will help halt this breakdown.References :
As long as you exercise your muscle or weight lift to increase muscle mass, you will not lose it. Cardio exercises will lose the stout on top while your muscles will remain. Don’t allow the tales to confuse you. The bottom line is simple…you will lose muscle mass ONLY IF you do not use them. You will lose the stout with cardio.References :
You don’t lose muscle mass… just do a lot of cardio and exercise (weight training) and adjust your diet to steamed veggies and non fatty meats, like chicken breasts, lean beef, and fish.References :
Get exercising and the world is yours excellent luck with your new years resolution.References :
keep excersizing and doing ur usal routien or start to excerisize and run or jog for like 30 mins a dayReferences :
Well, I DO know that to lose stout, you do interval exercises.
i.e. Aerobics–march in place for two minutes, then do jumping jacks for one minute, then march and use handweights for two minutes, jumping jacks for one…keep doing that for the length of time you’d normally exercise.
This would also work for jogging. Alternate linking walking sort of quick and running.
The reason this gets rid of stout is that, when your body needs a burst of energy, mitochondria in the cells get energy from the stout in your body, as opposed to continuous running where your body first uses the glucose (blood sugar). It’s like your body is expecting this constant hard work so it wants to preserve the body stout for when the glucose runs out–which normally doesn’t happen in 20 minutes of exercise. And everyday, you eat again and the glucose is restored, so the body doesn’t get as much of a chance to get to the stout to burn.
A excellent exercise DVD that demonstrates this is The Abs Diet Workout.References :
