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 so don't believe the programs that tell you they can take of 10lb. in 1 or 2 weeks because it's not real fat. You shouldn’t be too concerned about the weight on the scale, as you should your body fat. Muscle weighs more than fat as you could lose 5lbs. of fat and gain 5 lbs. of lean muscle and still be the same on the scale but you are leaner and that is really the key!
Your body fat which should be taken by a professional should be checked every week when you start your fat loss program. Don't make the mistake of just doing it once, the key is to keep monitoring your progress and a skilled person will know exactly what to change in your program by measuring your body fat and if they don't then find someone that does. 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.
