Your Fat-Burning Questions Answered!
Q.
I have been dieting for about 3 weeks and workout 3-4 times a week. I’ve lost 9lbs.,
but not a lot of inches. I still seem flabby.
Does the weight come off first, then the inches?
A.
First off, if you have been dieting for 3 weeks you should only lose
approximately .5-2lbs. per week. Anymore than that is water and
most likely muscle which when lost will slow down your metabolism.
You shouldn’t be too concerned about the weight on the scale,
as you should your body fat. Your body fat which should be taken
by a professional should be checked every week when you start your
fat loss program. By doing this you will be losing fat and not muscle
which accounts for losing inches and looking “toned and lean” rather
than smaller and flabbier.
