Weight Loss – I review a lot of fat loss programs. Actually, I USED TO. I avoid reading that kinda stuff these days because, well most of the time, once I finished reading a diet book, I feel like I need to take a shower. They are just that sleazy….

(I say light because I tend to stop talking about physiology when it gets overly nerded out. Exercise physiology classes in college was more than enough. But I digress.) Could this idea that the body burns muscle before fat be correlated to the fact that the body tends to take a longer time to digest fat than it takes to digest protein (muscle)? Hence, "logically", the body will burn muscle and then fat during metabolism. And people that know a little (the most dangerous kind) play onto this. But of course, digestion and metabolism are slightly different processes. Curious to see what you guys think. I had some light discussion with a friend on some of this and a thought came to mind.

Im a personal trainer and practically every person I train has the half baked idea that if they dont eat enough, their body will burn off their muscle. It seems to me that so much of what people believe about muscle and fat loss is driven by the bodybuilding and supplement industry. Im a bodybuilding fan, and I see now that the whole "bulking cycle" and "cutting" cycle is just a huge joke. No one seems to understand the fallacies of it. Guys will gain 30,40,50,60,70 plus pounds in the off-season of bodybuilding. Yet come competition when they burn off as much fat as possible, they will weigh ONE TO FIVE POUNDS MORE compared to the previous contest. Even the top IFBB pros, after so many years, their actual lean mass gains start to level off. Most of them contest to contest are always within a few pounds of whatever their shredded weight is. If you are not getting weaker while leaning out, how could you possibly be burning off muscle? Its just fat and excess water weight This is so refreshing to hear.

I am a personalized bodybuilding and aerobics instructor. Losing weight is easier to me than gain weight. My body is genetically built that way, maybe. But I found it through a lot of researches and my experiences also as a health enthusiast for almost two decades already, that weight training could help "not to lose muscles" while doing a lot of aero. Now I am 45, and it's harder to lose weight without dieting, but with no fear of losing muscles. Just apply your concept---weight training while dieting...you wouldn't believe, at my age, and being 5'6" tall only at 145 lbs....I could hear a lot of people complimenting, "You've got a beautriful body, what's the secret?" Some would even surprise me with a pinch on my bicep or tricep...and very eager to see my ab packs Brad, you really are so true. I am a personalized bodybuilding and aerobics instructor.
