The right approach for fat loss is to exercise smartly and
eat intelligently in a way that maintains muscle and focuses on fat loss
exclusively.
The muscle you have is not there forever. If you don't feed
it and don't use it - you lose it. A proper plan with right combination of
resistance and cardiovascular training with adequate progression and a right
nutrition plan to support it can help you achieve this. Exercise only boosts
the burning process but doesn't just melt the fat away on its own - if you do
not create a deficit and feed the body too much - it won't touch the stored
fuel reserves. On the hand if you drastically cut your calories and do not feed
your muscle properly or don't exercise and use your muscle, you will lose it.
Fat loss is about finding that right balance.
With fat loss you maintain the muscle and keep the metabolic
rate running high. You also develop stronger connective tissue, tighter skin
and stronger bones and joints. With fat loss you transform your body. Fat loss is a lifestyle approach where you give your body
what it needs without depriving and shocking it with threat of starvation. You
get to see slow but permanent steady progress.
It may sound odd, but it's possible to get thinner without
actually seeing a change in your weight. This happens when you lose body fat
while gaining muscle. Your weight stays the same, even as you lose inches.
