Bodyweight vs Bodyfat

[Paul]

When setting your goals make sure you don't get the two mixed up. You can lose weight without losing any body fat by a bad low calorie diet and wrong excercise. This will cause more damage than good.

Losing weight correctly will bring your body fat down whilst making you feel better. This is where you will see the best results. To do this you you should introduce cardio and weight training (high reps around 14 - 18, low weight) and your calorie intake should only be slightly lower than what you are using. somewhere around 300 below. Also lower the amount of simple sugars you are eating.(i.e. chocolate, cakes!!)

The control of bodyweight, especially bodyfat, is highly prized in most sports. There is nothing to be gained and much to be lost from having excessive amounts of fat on your body. Even athletes who must have high bodyweights to compete, such as football linemen and Heavyweight wrestlers, need to be concerned with their bodyfat levels.

Bodyfat slows down the athlete by increasing the amount of nonproductive weight he or she must carry during the performance of a sports movement. In bodybuilding it also hides the muscularity, placing the athlete at great competitive disadvantage. The way to achieve a low level of bodyfat for a competition with the smallest possible loss in lean muscle tissue is to maintain a diet program that is reasonably controlled all year round.

You have no doubt seen bodybuilders who gain large amounts of weight in the off-season only to go on crash diets and lose most of it for a show. It was once felt that this bulk/cut system permitted greater amounts of muscle growth compared to a relatively strict year-round diet program. Bodybuilders who took steroids were notorious for bulking and cutting. In the off-season they would fill up on everything that passed in front of their faces, figuring that this way they were assuring themselves of the greatest possible benefit from the drugs they were taking. Of course, when they dieted for a competition, they would then take even more drugs to maintain as much muscle as possible while they drastically reduced their food intake to make up for the excess of their previous overeating "Nine Eagles".

As it turns out, this bulk/cut system is not the best muscle-building program even for an athlete on drugs. It is definitely not recommended for the natural athlete. The best way to achieve your sport goals is to keep to a diet that provides you with the nutrients you need, but only in the amounts that you need them throughout the entire year. Excess consumption of calories in the off-season is not only pointless, but actually counterproductive.

Studies have shown that weight-loss programs always result in a loss of some muscle tissue along with the fat, especially when exercise is not included as part of the diet program. As a result, any time that you try to drop those pounds or kilograms for a competition, you will inevitably lose muscle. The best way to minimize this loss in muscle weight and muscle mass is to never gain excess fat in the first place. And the way to do that, of course, is by controlling your food consumption so you never take in more calories than your body needs.

There is no question that this requires discipline. Nobody said athletic excellence would be easy. Yet by following a few simple rules, you should be able to achieve your dietary objectives without a great deal of hassle.

Good info here! Does anyone else tried supplements to support weight loss? I am thinking about ordering 5HTP (this product: liftmode.com/mood-lifting/5htp.html). It sounds very promising, since it is all-natural and it seems to have many benificial effects, because it is converted to serotonine in the body. One of the effects is surpressed appetite and a faster metabolism. Sound helping. Don't worry, I will surely use it as an addition to exercise and healthy food.
