I’ve been working out 6 times a week 2 times a day (Cardio) and doing strength training on top of that for the guts of 4 weeks and the scales haven’t moved at all!
I’ve asked on here before a while back what was wrong and people were calling it muscle but surely i should have lost some weight by now. I’m 9 and a half stone and i want to loose 20 pounds. Why haven’t i seen results yet.
I’m watching what i eat and counting calories, i don’t understand why i’m not loosing any weight. I weighed myself today and i cried because it hasn’t changed. Its so hard to keep working out if the scales wont move.
I’ve never had such a hard time loosing weight before.
Counting calories is wrong, they were miscalculated at the start of the century because people thought back then that we either burn or store. However, the body is more comlex, it’s not a machine. We lose by sweating, going to the toilet, etc. even by having blood going around our bodies. See the source for more details (it’s a bit scientific but you’ll understand it I think)
If you want to lose weight, you should help your body by eating enough real food, otherwise it will fight you back, it will think you are going to starve and won’t release the fat.
Do not combine carbohydrates with fats, eat both but separately. In this way insulin, the "fattening" hormone that carries fat to your cells is not released, and when it is there’s no fat to carry. Avoid all refined and artificial sugars (be aware of sugar dextrose aspartame etc. many "low cal" and "low fat" contain them) and stick to real food. Many "low-fat" foods are filled with processed carbs (and sugars), the real full fat is better. Watch this: http://vimeo.com/10533993 it makes it more clear.
