First, you need to correctly determine what we mean by volume. Muscle mass, fatty layer and skin are “put on” on the bones of the skeleton. Removing bones and skin, we find that volume is nothing more than a combination of muscle and fat.
What happens when you lose weight?
With any type of weight loss, the amount of both body fat and muscle mass decreases. Miracles do not happen – it is impossible to remove fat and build muscle at the same time. Not losing muscle mass by getting rid of fat is possible only by using steroids for weight loss, but here everyone chooses for themselves whether it is worth risking their health.
In fact, with the classic drying of the body, in any case, muscles go away with fat, until they came up with an effective method for separating the processes of burning fat and muscles. Bodybuilders all over the world will throw in the Nobel Prize for someone who teaches them to preserve all muscle tissue while losing weight.
Reasons for the emergence of “real examples”
The time has come to hear those who “could”. The measuring tape clearly shows changes in volume in the direction of decreasing, but the arrows of the scales do not move since the last weighing. Almost all such cases are explained by a simple “human” factor. Anyone, even the most accurate and meticulous athlete, may well make a mistake in measurements. Especially at the initial level of weight loss, when the count goes to centimeters and grams. It’s elementary – a tighter centimeter tightened your volume, and before weighing in, you drank a glass of water or did not visit the restroom.
What to do?
It is necessary to take a sober approach to the capabilities of your body, not to try to get everything at once, let the body enter the right rhythm and measure weight and volume not every 2 hours, but when the results become noticeable to the naked eye.
