It is very likely that sometime in your life you have wanted to lose weight, simply by reaching a physical goal or due to health needs. There are people who think that stop eating, eat little and go hungry is the best way to lose weight; Although there are also those who do sports, but do not want to change their eating style.
We tell you if to lose weight you need to reduce calories, do more sports, or do both.
We are what we eat
If you want to lose weight, the best option is to combine a balanced diet, with sport and an active lifestyle. You can lose weight on a strict diet only, but in the long run you will get bored and unable to maintain the same weight. On the other hand, if you combine diet with sport, you will lose weight earlier and maintain it in the long term. In addition, you will notice a better physical condition and a great improvement in health.
Don't panic at your weight when you start playing sports. It is very common that the first weeks you notice that you have gained weight, this is because your body is trying to adapt to the stimuli that you did not provoke before. Possibly you will retain fluids and you will be in the process of increasing your muscle mass.
For weight loss to be efficient, what you are interested in is losing fat and not just liquid. Also, it may be the case that you weigh the same with body fat as when it is reduced, but it increases your muscle mass. The muscle also weighs, although it takes up less space.
Losing weight is not the same as losing fat
This concept is not yet so assimilated in those people who want to lose weight. The weight that marks your scale is not the same as the percentage of body fat , they are two different measures. It is normal that ignorance makes you follow a strict diet in which you lose weight, but do not notice results in your body fat. This is because that weight loss has been carried forward to your muscles and body fluids.
Losing weight fast is not a good sign, in case you want to do it well and keep it on time. Much also has to do with food or diet that we want to follow to notice results. You must not eliminate any nutritional group , you must drink enough water and banish ultra-processed products, sugars and alcohol.
It is not about "dieting", but learning to eat .
Healthy eating and sports, the perfect combination
To lose weight "fast" and burn fat without losing muscle or fluid, the ideal is to combine both factors. We are not telling you only, but a study carried out by Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
Forget about those who claim there are fat burning pills, miracles do not exist!
Eat better (not less), do sports and in a short time you will notice physical and mental results.
