Losing Weight But Not Growing Thin?
Ever look down at the weighing scale after couple of months of hard work out and balanced diet, just to find there is a negligible difference in your weight? Do not fret you are one amongst many people who feel the same way.
You are amongst those who have confused themselves with fat loss and weight loss.
You weight consists of your muscle weight, bone weight and water combined. Whereas fat is just unused energy stored away by our body. The main function of a muscle is to ensure we are able to stay active throughout It is very compact and takes up lesser space than the same amount of fat.
When you talk about losing weight , you actually mean slimming up by losing the excess fat and not losing muscle weight.
If you go on a crash diet you may be happy with the drastic change in your body weight. This is not healthy, because you are actually depriving your body of essential nutrients. Eventually you are bound to feel weak and tired all the time and fall ill. Instead you should aim to be firm and toned at the stomach, calf, arms etc.
If you exercise well and not over eat then the amount of calories being burnt in a day will increase. If you maintain a balanced diet with a regular exercise regime then your body will draw the energy from the store body fat.
