  Should I include fibre rich foods in my weight loss plans?

  1 Answer(s)

  Monica Lorica

  Yes. If you can make fibre rich foods a part of your weight loss plans, you will be able to generate better weight loss results. Fibre acts as fat absorber of the foods that you eat. It prevents your body from absorbing all the fats derived from the foods. Also, fibre will make you feel full even if you just eat a smaller amount of food. This leads to less food intake, and of course, results to less calorie intake. Aside from its weight loss benefits, fibre is also known to help lower cholesterol and blood sugar level.

  The most effective way to lose unwanted weight and fats is through exercise and by consistently adhering to a low-fat and healthy meal plan. By exercise, this means incorporating both cardio workouts and lifting weights into your training regimen. It also helps to target the abdominal muscles especially the lower abs by doing leg raises since this is the toughest area to isolate and develop.

  Do fats weigh less than muscle?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Although muscles take less space than fat since it is much denser, 10 pounds of muscle will weigh the same as 10 pounds of fat. Muscles are way denser and that is why the more muscular you are, the leaner your body looks. You can also look at it this way: two individuals may weigh the same on the scale, but the one who has more fatty tissues will look much heavier and bigger because fat takes up more space.

  Does more time in the gym yield more gains?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  No. If this is the case then everyone would be training twice a day, seven days a week. On a per session basis, you don’t have to train longer than you have to if you can complete your workout in 45 mins. You just have to get in, train hard, go out, and then eat and rest well afterwards for your recovery. It may be hard to convince beginners that less is more, but rest is just as important as training because it is only during rest that you really begin to build muscle.

  Which is better: free weights or machines?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Both machines and free weights have their place in the gym in terms of safety, ease of use, and convenience, but if you have to choose, you’re better off with free weights because it can recruit more muscle groups per unit time. Many of the compound movements are best done with free weights because with barbells and dumbbells aside from your prime movers you also engage your stabilizer and core muscles. This is why most if not all lifting movements are harder when done with barbells. Also, machines to a large extent limit the plane of movement for the joints, while free weights are more versatile and give a greater range of motion. Machines work best for beginners and for those undergoing rehab for injuries, but for the experienced lifter who knows proper technique free weights is the only way to go for greater strength gains.

  Can I use bodybuilding for weight loss?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Absolutely. While bodybuilding can be used to build mass, it can also be used to lose unwanted weight. All you need to do is to vary the rest interval and instead of using heavy weights use more manageable weights that can be done for high reps. Exercises can also be done in circuit with almost no rest in between sets to improve mobility strength, and stamina. Not only will you burn calories during the actual workout, your metabolic rate remains elevated for hours afterwards and you continue to burn fat even during the recovery phase.

  Is any exercise good exercise?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  Any movement that can help you become better physically and mentally is good exercise. There is no such thing as bad exercise, only bad execution. Any exercise can be good for you, just make sure you get proper guidance so you won’t have to pick random exercises that can injure you. A good and beneficial exercise also depends on what your goals are and what your current level of fitness is. If for example you are a triathlete, walking your dog won’t take your stamina to the next level. For the elderly however a short walk makes a world of difference in allowing them to easily perform daily activities.

  What are efficient ways to speed up metabolism and help trim my gut down?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  When losing unwanted weight becomes difficult, slow metabolism is more often than not referred to as the culprit. While metabolic rate is partly responsible to how quickly the body burns and processes the calories, if you don’t mind what you eat and you don’t exercise then you can’t blame it all on your metabolism. To trim your gut down and boost your metabolism, first and foremost, eat healthy. Avoid junk food and fastfood and as much as possible prepare your meals at home. Not only is this healthier, it can be cheaper as well. Take it easy on the salad dressings and salt as well. As for your fluids, drink water, not soda. To rev up your metabolic rate further, be active. It doesn’t matter if it’s going to the gym, walking your dog or taking a flight of stairs, anything that would get you off the couch is a step in the right direction.
