alright, let's see if you know your stuff. I recently joined a weight loss challenge at work. in three weeks, I've dropped 8 pounds and one clothing size just by changing my eating habits and by not drinking soda. what do you recommend to keep the weight loss momentum, but not gain weight through muscle mass yet? What makes you think you are going to gain weight through muscle mass? As a woman you don't have the testosterone to put on a lot of muscle. You also wont be putting on weight unless you are eating more than you burn. Lifting weights makes women smaller not bigger. My wife (who was my gf at the time) thought the same thing. She did listen to me and we lifted weights together. Before she ever started training I took her measurements. 4-5 months later she swore to me her legs were bigger. I took out the tape measure and they were actually smaller. She hadn't lost weight though. I am a guy under 30 and trust me when I tell you it is hard to put on muscle. I have a hard time doing it and I am trying. Lifting weights can make women smaller (tighter) but since muscle weighs more than fat it can also increase the number on the scale...I think that is what Ana was concerned about because she is participating in a challenge for most pounds lost....And I disagree with your statement about women not having enough testosterone to put on a lot of muscle...We do and we can build lean muscle mass the same way men do... I said a lot of muscle. I complete beginner who is doing everything right and in prime age group and male could do ~23 pounds in a year. A woman could do roughly half that. That is eating right optimum exercising. At optimum efficiency it would be 12 pounds in a year or 1 pound a month of muscle. That would require eating over maintenance which she isn't doing. The point being if she lifted weights she wouldn't gain weight if she was lifting weights. It is physics, matter and energy can't be created or destroyed but transformed. Lifting weights burns energy while doing the exercise but also in the repair process of muscles so you continue to burn after your exercise. I would personally suggest 2 days a week doing full body compound lifts. I would also suggest interval training and if you could even HIITs. If you want to drop water weight then drink more water (counter intuitive I know but the less you drink the more your body wants to hold on to the stuff) and cut way down on salt. Half a week eating nothing processed and you will see the scale dip from water weight. You would be surprised how much salt the average person consumes. |

You should eat a High carb diet...but it also depends on your metabolic rate, you could be burning off all calories through the sports you play, hence not allowing you to put on weight......include weight training in your routine at least 3 - 4 times a week |
