Inches Count - Shed Fat and Add Muscle
OK, I know we talk about it as “weight loss,” but what most of us want to lose is the inches. It’s not the pounds that make your jeans tight – it’s the inches. All pounds are not equal. Sure – if a pound of fat and a pound of muscle are placed on a scale, they are both going to equal one pound. The difference between the two, however, is their density. A pound of fat is approximately 18% larger than a pound of muscle! How is this possible? Simple – muscle is denser and takes up less room than its Jello-like counter part – fat. And it’s that extra space the fat takes up that makes your jeans too tight.
The key to looking your best and feeling your best is to shed fat and add muscle. Your weight may stay the same but you’ll be healthier and slimmer. You’ll look and feel much better.
Here’s the scoop on this fat vs. muscle thing. Because of their different consistencies, muscle and fat look different on the body. Fat is usually carried in the areas of our bodies that take away definition and shape. This is especially noticeable in the face and midsection.
So what does this mean for you, the dieter? For starters, having more muscle than fat makes you jiggle less as you continue toward, and reach, your weight loss goals. Even though your weight may stay the same, your body will take on a different, tighter, more pleasing shape. You’ll lose inches! The key is to get the right mix of exercise and diet to firm and tone while shedding fat.
Another benefit from added muscle? The muscle weight boosts your metabolism allowing you use more calories and burn even more fat!
Maintaining a healthy diet and a long-term exercise program helps you build muscle. The more muscle you carry on a regular basis, the more calories you burn over time, giving you a stronger, leaner, healthier body. Feeling strong and healthy gives you the confidence you need to feel happy, healthy, and successful.
Here’s to a slimmer, healthier you!
