Of course, I can understand your question, but what's really interesting is that … unhealthy overweight people always want to lose weight, while healthy people are afraid of losing weight!

Don't be fooled by scale. When you start exercising, you will start to see the effects in two months, such as whether your clothes fit, whether you sleep well, how you feel or whether your skin looks more shiny. After 3 months, your friends and colleagues will also notice that your appearance has changed. By then, you will be addicted to weightlifting. Did I mention the scale? Don't! Of course, you will lose weight, but this may not be what you expect after 3 months (train 3-5 days a week, eat only nutritious food at every meal, control your weight and protein).

Let me tell you a little story. One day, I was in the locker room of the gym, and a woman (as tall as me, but younger than me 10 years old) was putting on weight for her 1 kg (! ! ) and sad, now her weight is 133 kg. When I passed by, she looked at me and said, "You may only weigh about 100 kg!" "

I replied that I was as heavy as her, which made her very incredulous. Now, you have to imagine us. She was diagnosed as obese and I was thin. I jumped on weighing scale and weighed135kg. She couldn't believe it. This is the right reason:

She is usually stationed in what I call the "Hunger Island" in my book; She ate very little and drank a lot of water.

Because there are too few calories, her calorie burning ability, that is, her metabolic ability, has been stifled.

She lost a lot of muscles, because muscles need calories, and her body has just made a very reasonable decision = why keep a lot of muscles when there is not enough heat and energy to maintain?

When she loses muscle tissue, the percentage of adipose tissue in her body will increase.

So she has less muscle and more fat than me.

She only exercises 1 hour a week, and I exercise 5 hours a week.

I eat a lot of nutrients. These three nutrients include 30% carbohydrate, 40% protein and 30% fat. I eat 1700 calories a day (I bet my left bicep only eats 700-800 calories a day).

In other words, I am a thin machine that consumes calories, while she, due to hunger and lack of real exercise, is a machine that makes fat.

One pound of muscle = one pound of fat (how can this not be true? )

But a pound of muscle takes up much less physical space than a pound of fat.
