subject: 1 Big Reason Why You Shouldn't Be Trying To Lose Weight [print this page] If you consider yourself to be overweight and you're reading this article, you're probably trying to figure out how to lose weight. There is a common misconception that can happen with that though. Read on to figure out why you shouldn't be trying to lose weight, even if you're overweight!
With your entire goal being, "I want to lose 10 pounds," or whatever number you're going for, you're thinking too much about weight and not enough about fat loss. Did you know that you can go from 30% body fat to 20% body fat and not lose any weight at all?
When you exercise and eat right, you should be gaining muscle to help you lose that fat. Not only does lean muscle mass help you burn more calories, but lifting weights increases your metabolism even further, making it much easier to shed the fat.
But muscle is heavier than fat, so if you gain a little muscle and lose quite a bit of fat, then you may end up weighing in the same as you did before. This is why you should never be trying desperately to lose weight. Instead, focus on burning fat.
I'm not saying that a weight scale is useless, in fact they do have their place. But if you get so caught up in losing weight you may get very discouraged when you have no reason to be. Before you give up your plan, make sure that you haven't gained muscle and lost fat. You may quit the very plan that was already starting to work wonders in your body.
