For several days my body weight has not changed, despite the fact that I follow a diet and exercise regularly. I did not have any deviations from the diet, and I do all trainings conscientiously. So why don’t I lose weight?
Eggs, meat, almonds – the key to healthy and strong hair
Obsessive weight loss – addiction or disease?
Reasons for the situation there may be many. In this article, however, I would like to focus on the one in the direct way is with physical activity. No weight loss, and aw in some cases, even an increase in it may be irritating, of course, but not this is a phenomenon that should be concerned about. Why? In decisive in most cases, this situation is due to the impact of exercise, especially strength, on the human body.
Why are we getting fat?
The most common cause of formation being overweight and obese is inadequate or complete inactivity physical. Continuous technological development makes it systematically reduce the amount of physical exertion performed by people. It is not natural situation for the human body that is adapted to bear on in favor of physical activity during the day with significant energy inputs. Go ahead it can be concluded that leading a sedentary lifestyle and limited to a minimum of all kinds of physical effort is a pathological phenomenon, which carries a number of negative changes within the body. Increase body fat is only the tip of the iceberg.
Where are my muscles?
An unused organ is fading away – this the saying perfectly illustrates what is happening to the muscles of a person who leads a sedentary lifestyle. What is the cause of this state of affairs? The explanation is trivial, that the human body does not like to get tired. Therefore, it tries to minimize the amount of energy that it does not consume brings tangible benefits for him. The most common victim of such conduct muscles, especially those responsible for locomotion. Why exactly muscles? This is because they are very energy hungry. One kilogram of muscle tissue burns about 12 kcal when resting. It’s a lot considering that muscles that are at rest do not bring their own No benefits to the “owner”. For this reason, keeping them substantial quantity is wasteful.
Physical exercises to save the muscles
In people who, before starting weight reduction process based on a diet and training plan lead a sedentary lifestyle of any kind systematically performed physical activity, whether they will be strength / modeling exercises, or endurance exercise (cardio) will help to rebuild muscle tissue to a physiological state. Of course, exercises will be the fastest strength. However, it should be borne in mind that muscle growth only affects and only their return to their “natural state”. Moreover, the above phenomenon mainly occurs in people who have started systematic training sessions were at odds with any physical activity. Tissue growth muscle at a later stage of the training process requires application optimally selected strength exercises, as well as an appropriate diet plan. FROM therefore, you should not be afraid of excessive growth of muscle tissue.
Muscles – the main culprit behind the lack of weight loss
A liter of muscle tissue weighs approx 1,06 kilograms. In turn, the same volume of adipose tissue weighs w approximately 0,9 kilograms. So the difference in mass between these tissues is as high as 15 percent with the same volume. You should also bear in mind that under the influence of systematic exercise, especially in strength / modeling, there are many adaptive changes in the muscles. One one of them is the increased storage of muscle glycogen which additionally it is very willing to bind with water – 1 gram of glycogen is stored in the muscle muscle requires about 3 grams of water. The above changes may contribute to stopping and even weight gain while the tissue content decreases body fat, as well as a decrease in the circumference of individual parts of the body.
