Lose Fat, Maintain Muscle the Smart Way

Lose Fat, Maintain Muscle

Many people are endlessly frustrated with diets that don't work, or are too hard to stick with because they leave you hungry and without engery. Ever tried eliminating carbs from your diet completely in one of those no-carb fad diets? It doesn't really work in the long run, and you walk around totally cranky all the time because the human body needs carbs, and wants them for energy, so it's kind of unnatural to deny them to your body.

The other problem many dieters face is that they deny themselves food, then try to work out and discover they have no energy for it, leaving them tired, cranky, frustrated, and STILL FAT.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is not addressing the way that diet and exercise work together, and dealing with the relationship between fat and muscle.

The best way to get in shape is to burn fat, maintain muscle, and eat healthy to lose weight, with all of these things done in balance. Muscle maintenance helps you burn fat because it keeps your metabolism hot, so your body will use more calories. It's basic science.
