Burn Fat not Muscle

Burn fat not muscle

When we go on a diet, we sometimes forget to take into account if we burn the muscles along with the fat out of our bodies. This method is wrong because we should shed off a few pounds without losing the muscles and strength we need to function normally.

In order to burn fat and not muscle, we can start by eating fruits and vegetables instead of the usual bread, pasta and rice. However, we shouldn’t completely eliminate carbohydrate-rich foods in our diet because they are still good sources of energy. The reason why fruits and vegetables should be consumed more is that the body uses them to function so they don’t get stuck in the body and turn into fat. As for the carbs, we could still eat them as long as they are in small portions.
Don’t just drink water. Drink eight to ten glasses of clean, purified water. There are different kinds of water nowadays- alkaline, purified, filtered, purified and mineral. They all have varied health benefits but in the end, they help us burn fat and not muscle. Water also keeps us hydrated and energized that we won’t even feel the need of caffeinated drinks like sodas and other carbonated drinks, which are large sources of calories, in our systems.

Resistance training helps build endurance and resilience of the body. This training involves weight lifting on top of your normal workout. Add resistance training to your normal workout. These two are a great combination because the workout is for burning fat, while the resistance training is for building muscles.
