Get The Facts Behind Weight loss and Muscle Building
There is a lot of confusion surrounding the issue of weight loss and muscle building and whether both can be done simultaneously. It is widely believed that its necessary to lose fat before you can start to build muscle. Some people also believe, wrongly ofcourse, that fat can be turned into muscle with sufficient exercise!
So the question is, is it beneficial to undertake weight loss and muscle building at the same time? Yes. It is entirely feasible to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. Infact, there are several benefits to doing this, such as...
Weight loss basically happens when the body faces a deficit of calories. This is possible when you burn more calories than you consume. You can either only consume fewer calories, or focus on burning more calories than you consume. The third more effective option is to do a combination of both.
It is a myth that only cardio exercises burn fat. Cardio exercises definitely do help get rid of fat but that is not to say that no other physical activity helps achieve the same thing! The truth is, all physical activity burns fat. Muscle building exercises consist of strength or weight training. These exercises help develop and strengthen muscles but burn a significant amount of calories!
The second important benefit is, as you advance into muscle building, your body burns more calories just to maintain the bulk to have developed. The more muscle you build the more calories you will burn automatically. This means that as you build muscle, the body will naturally start burning more calories to maintain that muscle. This is where weight loss and muscle building actually complement each other!
Lastly, when you know that both can be achieved at the same time, why waste time concentrating only on weight loss before you start with muscle building? You can save precious time and achieve your ultimate body sooner by doing both at once.
To address the issue of turning fat into muscle, Im afraid that is entirely impossible. Fat and muscle are two different tissues and one cannot transform into another. You can definitely lose one and gain the other. But separately.
Now to get back to the question of whether its possible to achieve weight loss and build muscle at the same time, although there are several benefits to taking up both at once, there are times when this is not possible. Muscle building requires a calorific surplus. Which means the body needs more calories consumed everyday than you burn.
These are used to repair and build s tissue. On the other hand, weight loss requires you to consume fewer calories than the body needs, so that the body can burn excess fat for energy. However, if youre a beginner then your body will build muscle either way! So if youre building muscle for the first time, then you definitely can take advantage of this fact and aim to achieve weight loss and muscle building at the same time!
