You Must Create a Caloric Deficit To Lose Weight

Want to LOSE weight:


A reduction in body fat occurs when a person is in a caloric deficit. This occurs with two variables: decreasing the amount of calories you consume, increasing the amount of exercise you participate in, or doing both. Resistance training is used to help build and maintain muscle tissue, and also a tool used to help achieve a caloric deficit.

Here is a statement that many of you probably do not want to believe: There is no exercise out there that is going to burn fat off of your body in a specific area! No resistance training exercise will help tone or reduce fat on top of any muscle in your body. It is a reduction of calories and an increase in exercise that will take care of that.

There is a very big misconception regarding that "burn" you feel after performing many repetitions during an exercise. Some people actually believe that is the fat melting off the body right before our very eyes! That burn is actually caused by lactic acid, which is used by your muscles to form ATP for immediate energy.

I often see a person lying on the ground at the gym performing sets of 100 crunches. They probably assumes that burning sensation is actually helping them "tone there stomach". If you are performing a set of 100 repetitions on any exercise, don't you think it is time to move on to something a little harder?
Please let me know when you realize it!
