Lose Body Fat Without Losing Muscle

Online, October 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Some people fear to lose the body fat because along with it, the tissues of the muscles also diminish a lot. Fitness enthusiasts have been bothered by this question for a considerable amount of time because no one would want to look weak after a grueling work out to reduce fat. The main problem is that the loss of fat is something of an anti-thesis towards the loss of fat. This is mostly because when you are trying to lose the excess fat, you are attempting to burn the excess calories in your body but the development of muscles requires some sort of caloric build up and this is where the two come at loggerheads. And this causes the most basic problem, you want to lose body fat but you don't want to lose the muscles.

The one thing that you can do in this stage is that you can try exercising a lot, exercises that will burn the fat but will also help to develop the growth of muscles in your body and promote its retention as well. Strength training provides the perfect answer in such a situation, whether you use weights or your own body weight is irrelevant. Make sure that your muscles face some sort of a challenge while you are working out, and try to keep it less mechanical by putting your heart and soul into it.

Wight training has two advantages. It helps in the building of muscles, as well as reducing fat from your body. So, you are hitting two birds with one stone with weight training. This is primarily due to the fact that the more muscles your body has, the more will be your metabolism and as a result, the more calories will burn.

You can employ another ploy to reduce the loss of muscles, by maintaining a cyclical diet. These methods include carb rotation, as well as calorie cycling but make sure that you know the tricks to get the most out of these techniques. The most basic thing is that when you eat, you are sometimes eating to lose fat and sometimes to gain some muscle.

Finally, it can be said that it is not impossible to lose fat without losing the muscles tissues from your body, but be sure to know what you are doing because if by chance, anything goes wrong, then you will end up regretting your decision.
