Why do people think they can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?

Im not sure who I should slap, the editors from Mens Helath or the bro-scientists over at GSP. Please learn this right now: after you calculate your TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure), anything above that will result in weight gain, anything below that will result in weight loss.Gaining muscle will result in some fat gains (can be reduced by introducing cardio)Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

How to Lose Weight by Fasting

Recommended Answer:

This is more of a motivation method. It is possible to gain muscle and lose fat in very short intervals of each-other. Though the dedication needed for that is crazy and the supplements and diet. While gaining Muscle it is clear that small amounts of fat come with it in a ratio though losing the fat after you have obtained the muscle is no rocket science...

what is my maintenance calorie intake?

im 16, 5'5 and weigh 110 pounds. right now im exercising almost everyday. before i gained weight so i recently lost 15 pounds changing my eating habits and realized ive only been eating around 1,300 - 1,400 calories daily. even now, im still eating around that amount but im scared that it's too low and i certainly dont want to lose more weight. i usually also have cheat days once a week and today i probably ate around 2,500 calories (i had cold stone). but what is my maintenance calories? ive been eating the same amt consistently for so long, i kind of have anxiety abt changing how much i eat daily.

How to Lose Weight Drastically

Recommended Answer:

We can't tell you what your maintenance caloric intake level is because it will vary according to your lifestyle, activities, food intake, etc. Here's your BMR ---> http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=16&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=5&cpound=110&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cactivity=1&x=0&y=0 . That's how many calories you need to just keep you alive. Add to that your energy output and that's what your should be eating. Of course, your energy output is going to vary which is why maintenance is not about a number. It's about monitoring yourself by weight or percent body fat or just looking in the mirror or paying attention to how your clothes fit and then adjusting your eating to counter any unwanted change in body composition.Good luck and good health!!♠Here's an excellent website for you. Be sure to bookmark it and use it. It's been recommended by the people your doctor listens to, US National Institute of Health, and has tons of information about your growing and changing body. --> http://teenshealth.org/teen/PS: Here are some good websites you may find useful.• BEST SEARCH ENGINE http://www.usa.gov• A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/• BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/• BEST FOODS FOR YOU http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html• NUTRITION DOT GOV http://www.nal.usda.gov/food-and-nutrition

Other Answers:

  • Just eat some more and see what happens. Don't get your panties in a wad. Try eating about 1800 calories a day for a couple weeks and see what your weight does. NO ONE CAN TELL YOU YOUR maintenance intake. None of us know anything about. You however can eat and step on scales, and that makes YOU the only one who can make a decent estimate of your maintenance.And btw for a million years before humans got all brainwashed about counting calories, everyone maintained their weight naturally, just like animals do. Just eat when you're hungry and stop eating when you're full.

Is this workout bad or good?

Im 14, turning 15. Im 5 feet tall and im aiming to lose weight. I have a very good diet at the moment, eating healthier and wisely and im planning out my exercise plan. I plan to workout 3-4 times a week with 30 minutes of running (beginning with 5 minutes of walking to warm up the muscles and then go a bit faster, i plan on having lean legs because thanks to sprinting alot i have gained some bulky muscle). After the cardio i plan on doing Blogilates for the next thirty minutes (Casey Ho is on youtube and ive been following it lately which helps). Shud i be doing cardio first or last? And is this enough? I know i will not lost weight in one place (like my legs) and i plan on losing weight healthy. So it would be a total of 1 hour workout.if you have any tips please do tell and please no harsh comments, thank you so much for helping :)

How to Lose Weight Drinking Smoothies

Recommended Answer:

Most workouts are generally 60 minutes so it's good that you have that length of time. It's also good because the reccomended daily amount of exercise is 60 minutes as well. I have seen on many videos that if you do increasingly amounts of work for a few seconds and then go back to what you were doing it burns more weight. For example, If you jog for 60 seconds and then switch to 30 seconds of sprinting and then going back to the 60 seconds it is good for continuous workouts. In my opinion it seems like you have a decent workout.

Best Weight Loss Diet - Why Eating Healthy is a Far More Effective Way to Lose Weight Than Fad Diets

Recommended Answer:
There is no way to really calculate this exactly because we can''t determine your exact metabolic energy needs daily based off your info but can guess. But a pound of fat is 3500 calories if you are running a calorie deficit of say 750 calories per day it would take 4.6 days to lose a pound of fat.

But for your age, height and weight you seem to be perfectly fine the weight that you are at and look fine based on your photo. I would recommend that you don''t base your ''weight loss goals on weight'' you could be gaining muscle while losing fat and end up actually weighing more than you do now but looking better. This is why working out and weight loss is tricking especially for women, as you don''t see immediate results so you get discouraged. But keep in mind sometimes losing weight can be detrimental to your overall health if your already a healthy weight and try to push it lower.

Can stress cause you to lose weight even if you keep eating the same?

Im already skinny to begin with, so I can''t afford to lose any weight. Ive been stressed out lately and notice my ribs and hip bones are sticking out. I don''t know why because I am STILL eating the same amount as always. Would stress still make me lose weight? What can I do? This is really just stressing me out more.

Lose Weight and Block Fat

Yes it can. It can increase your metabolism and weaken your immune system. Try to take some supplements like multi vitamins and calcium. The calcium is a natural relaxer and the b vitamins will help the stress. Try to sneak in extra calories with nuts and milkshakes. Try toasted pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate for antidepressant effect. Please see a doc or counselor if stress does not get better!

  • Yes stress really affects tour body negatively and cause you to loose weight, try different relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga, or exercise, talk to someone or write how you feel down in a diary.

The 2009 Fattest Cities in America - Can the People in Those Cities Lose Weight Quickly?

Recommended Answer:
If you have a high metabolism and is looking to gain weight healthily, the key is not only simply to eat a lot. The key is to eat a lot of carbohydrates many times a day, sleep well as well as doing the right exercise. Only then will you be able to see significant weight gain that will stay on your frame and not be lost when you stop. Here is what I do suggest to get your diet in place.

Diet is the fundamental key and usually the first thing most people who are skinny will stumble upon first. However, the usual habit of eating a lot in one sitting bares no reason. This is because in a skinny person''s body like yours, it is highly likely that the body will feel overwhelmed by the sudden influx of so many nutrients and your digestive system will simply push the excess down the line into excrement. The key is to use carbohydrates is because the body will not do that to this particular energy source. Also, it provides the body with energy that will last 3-4 hours and thus require less loading time compared to other energy sources. Also, eating things like potatoes, pasta, noodles, biscuits, bread and rice 6 times a day with an interval of 2-3 hours in between will ensure that at no time in the day your body is deprived from an energy source, thus allowing you to gain and maintain the weight you have. If preparing 6 meals a day is daunting, perhaps you can try drinking 500ml of milk in between your meal for a total of 3 times a day. Increase the amount of milk you drink by 100ml every week until you see a 1 pound weight gain on the scale. This is the magic number of calories you need in order to gain weight so make sure you maintain this diet.

The next thing to look into is also a lifestyle habit and it is sleeping. So many people neglect sleep and that is what separates the successful gainers from the not successful one. The key is not only to sleep enough but to also sleep well. This means no interruptions or waking up in the middle of the night. If you can achieve your usual regime of sleeping and waking up yourself every single day, you are definitely acing this factor very well. If time does not permit, simply do this on weekends and ensure that your weekdays are still filled with long rest at night.

The last thing most skinny people will never think about is exercising to gain weight. The misconception is that exercising will cause me to lose weight so why should I do it? This is because if you simply rely on a regime of sleep and diet, you will gain fat which will be lost when your calorie intake is lower or your sleeping pattern is compromise. This will lower your weight faster than you can say wait a minute. Also, there are too many workouts on the internet and books that promise gains but none actually works like http://gohforth.com. That is a workout dedicated to help skinny people to gain weight and I personally vouch for that.

  • Lots of proteins.. dont eat junk food because your metabolism will just reject it.
  • Eat lots of carbs. Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, etc.
  • proteins and lean meant , eat stuff and snacks like trail mix, beans and other stuff, nuts are good ,also theres this one secret nutt most dont know about the Brazilian nutt (shhh keep it on the low dont tell anybody lol) it NATURALLY enhances testosterone , never take steroids that shit is for pussys peace :) good luck hard work dedication and diet
  • try taking appetite pills that will help increase your appetite and eat protein and carbs...but do it in a good way!

I can''t run where I live? And will I get used to the taste of green tea?

Hello there, friends:)! I''m a teen recovering from bulimia-anorexia. And I''m on the road to healthy! I''m so excited! BUT where I live it''s impossible to go running without having to worry about people wanting to rape me or abduct me.. Should I convince my mom to let me run in another neiborhood? How do I? And I''ve read a lot about green tea, I''ve tried it once and it was... Interesting... Will I get used to the taste if I suck it up? And do you think making a healthy blog on tumblr will motivate me and others? I''ve been thinking about it:)? And no, I''m not trying to lose weight, I''m just trying to get heathier:) Cheers and God bless you all:)

10 Reasons to Lose Weight & Improve Your Weight Loss

Recommended Answer:
First, congratulations on your recovery. I wish you the best.

If you neighborhood is that bad:

1) Get a running partner
2) Join a gym. Around here there is a nice gym that is $10/ month
3) Get a used treadmill. Check with Craislist (or someplace like freecycle and you might be able to get one for free)

As far as the green tea goes...try adding pure honey to it.

  • You can convince your mom to run in another neighborhood if you think your place is not safe. You can suck,slurp,sip,drink the green tea. It''s one of Nature''s Finest! Making a blog will certainly motivate others!
  • it''s impossible to go running without having to worry about people wanting to rape me or abduct me IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE !
  • If you live in a bad neighborhood then it would be best if you go to the gym
    If you don''t have access to a gym then run in the day time, and if you have a dog bring it along, you should also get a can of pepper spray, those come in handy
    As for green tee, it''s an acquired taste, so if you endure it you''ll grow to love it
