Hows the best way to lose fat and gain mass at the same time?
March 18th, 2010Hi im 29 around 5"8 and weigh around 160 pounds. I have quite a bit of belly fat sort of i guess like a skinny fat person. I attribute this to the fact that ive been consuming nearly 5000 calories a week drinking beer alone not to mention junk food and no exercise. My aim is to cut down drinking dramatically and try to eat healthier less fatty foods in order to flatten up my stomach.
The problem is although at the moment i fall inside a healthy BMI based on height\weight i think if i lose the fat i would become slightly underweight and need to gain more lean tissue to balance the fat loss. Any suggestion what would be the best way to do it? I have already started jogging and aim to do this every other day. at the moment i just do a mile as its been a while since i exercised i plan to increase the distance as i become able to. Cheers people
So you want gain muscle while you are currently losing body fat?
Yeah, not gona happen
Let me explain:
To lose body fat, you need to burn more than you eat. Your body will not go near your body fat if it gets what it needs from food. Why would it? If it gets what it needs as might as well save the fat for a rainy day
To gain muscle mass, you need to eat more than you burn. Muscles don’t grow on thin air. If you don’t eat enough for it to build and grow no amount of weight lifting will get you anything. If your body is burning everything it intakes, then nothing will be left for the muscle to grow on.
I don’t know about you, but unless you can eat less AND more at the same time, you can’t lose and gain weight at the same time. If you don’t believe me, test it, because I sure did
So what do you do? Do what the bodybuilders do. Do one goal at a time. Add X lbs of muscle by eating more for a few weeks/months, then remove X lbs of body fat by eating less for a few weeks/months, then repeat. Or revers
Or, you can take the easy way out and remove all the fat first, then if you don’t like your size you can just add muscle. At least you get to eat more and have a flat/six-pack stomach while you’re at it
Good luck man
