Can you lose weight and lose muscle?
Of course, you can lose weight by losing weight, but it depends on how you lose weight. They say that muscles are hard to lose, but they are not. You should have heard of aerobic exercise to lose weight and anaerobic exercise to lose weight. Muscle reacts differently to aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, but moderate aerobic exercise can achieve muscle gain, so the order is very important, otherwise you can't achieve the final effect of losing weight at all, because muscles will compete with aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise and interfere with each other, so how to lose weight through exercise becomes the key. From many practical experiences, you should do strength training first, and then do aerobic training, because the fatigue caused by aerobic exercise will affect your strength training.

However, long-term aerobic exercise will consume muscles, leading to a decline in metabolic rate, which is not conducive to weight loss, so it is necessary to reduce fat first and then gain muscle. Aerobic exercise consumes fat and energy, but it will make people's appetite very good. However, due to the decrease of muscle content, metabolism also decreases. If you stop exercising, it is easier to accumulate fat and cause your body to rebound. A large number of studies show that if you do aerobic exercise for two hours, 90% of leucine in your body will be consumed, and leucine can promote muscle growth. Excessive exercise can easily lead to muscle strain, so you need to find a balance. There is an upper limit to aerobic exercise. Once you exceed this balance point, your body fat will be consumed and your muscles will be consumed. If you are a big fat man, start with aerobic exercise, lose fat first and then gain muscle. If you are a muscular man with thick thighs, try to do aerobic exercise. It's also good to lose fat first and then muscle.
