Why Having a Weight Loss Goal is a Bad Idea

When you are losing weight, realize it could be either water weight or fat loss. Stored sugar (glycogen) retains a lot of water - actual glycogen holds 4x more water. So when you stop running your body on fat and no longer running on glucose, you dump a quantity of water, but then you'll stop losing, because you only have so much extra water. Then the next concept is muscle. An average person has a lot of fat, and less muscle mass. As you do keto and intermittent fasting you build muscle. This WILL increase actual weight. This combination of gaining muscle and loss of fat will cause a lessening of weight...BUT your size might shrink but only to a point, because building muscle could also make you get slightly bigger. Also as you building muscle, you also can burn off more calories - but you have to ask yourself what calories you are burning. If you are only burning stored sugar only, then you may not burn fat. To burn fat, drop your carbs and your body will then burn fat mainly. Then you also have the hormone estrogen. In a female body, this extra estrogen can keep the fat layer around the body, esp. the lower part stuck there longer and make it harder to get off. This superficial fat or subcutaneous fat layer can be lessened with a low carb diet and a lot of exercise using the leg and butt muscles over time. Hey, I’m back and I wanted to a video about this important topic for those people that are struggling to losing weight, they are frustrated especially when they are menopausal. Your weight loss goal is actually setting you up for a failure. There are several concepts that I am going to cover, the first concept I want to talk about the difference between the muscle and fat. If we take 1lb. of muscle and we compare it to 1lb. of fat, with fat you will have more volume than muscle so fat takes up more space in your body and muscle takes up smaller space. Second concept, overweight people have less muscle than fat. By the way if you don’t know what that means, what the videos that I had because this program will solve this issue that is running into the stubborn weight metabolism issue. When you start a keto and intermittent fasting program you are going to get into fat burning, you are going to lose fat and also you are going to increase muscle. DR.
