Can you lose 10 pounds in 23 days?
It is certainly possible to lose 10 pounds in 23 days. It is important, though, to distinguish losing weight from losing body fat. If you are overweight or obese, losing 10 pounds of body fat is a good idea; however, it's a bad idea to lose lean muscle mass. If you do not exercise and eat properly, about half the weight you lose will be lean muscle mass and that is a bad idea. Since lean muscle mass is very much more metabolically active than fat, you want to preserve or increase your lean muscle mass. Losing weight too quickly, and by that losing your muscle mass, will leave you worse off. You will quickly regain the weight and probably more than you lost.
If you grow more muscle mass will my hair stop growing?
no
Why is it better to lose inches rather than kilograms from your body?
As fat is lost, you should be replacing it with muscle. Muscle is more dense, so while the size decreases as you convert fat to muscle, the mass should stay about the same. Hence, losing inches in size is far better than losing kilograms in mass.
Why would a person lose muscle tissue while on a high-protein diet?
If a person is not taking in enough calories, and is losing weight, they are losing muscle mass. They may not be getting enough in their high-protein diet.
What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss?
Weight loss can include anything that make you weigh less on the scales including losing weight in water, lean muscle mass and fat. What you really want to lose is fat, while gaining lean muscle mass to keep your metabolism going. If you drink enough water, your body will stop hoarding water for future use and you will lose some water weight. So losing water weight and fat is a good thing (obviously as long as you don't dehydrate), but you really do not want to lose muscle mass.
Will the body stop gaining muscle mass at a certain point?
Yes, but the average person will never reach this point. This is more commonly seen in body builders or those who try to have abnormal amounts of muscle mass.
They say you always gain muscle before losing fat when dieting so how much muscle can I expect to gain before I start losing?
It is true that you often gain muscle prior to losing fat. This is a natural process, and it is helpful because a higher level of muscle produces a healthier metabolism. Each person has a different amount of muscle they will gain prior to losing fat, though many people gain muscle for months prior to losing fat.
Is losing 14 pounds in just 23 days bad for your health?
Generally, no. But everyone is different. If you have a heart problem, for example, or other medical problems (even ones you don't know about) losing weight that quickly can complicate them. While losing that much weight in a short amount of time seems wonderful, also remember that usually with that rapid of a weight loss, you are losing water and muscle, not fat. When you gain it back, however, you're usually replacing that loss muscle with even more fat. If you've already lost the weight and want to maintain it, look into weight training. It will get your muscle mass back up again. An increase in muscle mass burns fat.
Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
What is a Powertec Fitness machine?
A Powertec Fitness machine is a home gym Fitness machine. It's helpful if you want to build your muscle mass. It's good for losing weight too as muscle burns fat.
Do you gain weight before you lose it?
It depends if you get fat then go on a diet, or if you lift weights, you gain muscle,and muscle weighs more than fat.
How you stop being skinny?
You need to eat regularly, and working out with weights increases muscle mass. If you have a high metabolism, you need to make sure you eat well after working out, especially protein, so that you can build the muscle, tone it and make it bigger instead of losing it. Lunges, bench presses, calf raises, arm and back exercises work great.
