During exercise, our body will consume a lot of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, which are the first substances to supply energy during exercise. After exercise, due to the stimulation of exercise, the body generally stores more glycogen than before.
After exercise, under a reasonable diet, liver glycogen will be supplemented quickly. In the process of replenishment, the body will store a lot of water and glycogen. So, you will find that you have gained weight!
Summary: Because of the increase of glycogen and the storage of water, your weight will increase. This is a normal physiological stage, don't panic, this stage will generally be eliminated within 1~2 weeks of regular exercise!
2. The increase of muscle is greater than the decrease of fat.
Many people confuse weight loss with fat loss. Losing weight refers to the reduction of the total weight of our body, including fat, muscle, water and other substances. When we lose weight, what we want to lose is not bones, muscles or body water, but fat.
We exercise muscles through fitness exercise, which not only consumes fat, but also increases bone density, muscle mass and volume, strengthens muscle function and increases the proportion of muscle in body composition.
If the bodybuilder loses the same volume of fat, but gains the same volume of muscle, but the muscle is heavier than fat! So, you will find that your weight has become heavier! But the same weight of muscle is much smaller than the same weight of fat. Fat will make you bloated, but muscles are different. Muscles will make you tight. Two people with the same weight, one may be a fitness model and the other may be a big fat man!
