How quick should you start losing body fat during a diet/excercise regimen?

Filed under Q&A

I have been working out for the last 5 weeks at my gym on a regimen of 2 days weight and 3 days cardio. I have lost no weight, but instead gained 4 pounds. However, my body fat has dropped from 31.6 down to 28.5 during this time. Is this healty to lose that fast and should I expect to see more loss if I keep it up?

    You need to change what you’re eating.

    you should lose 1-2 pounds per week and no more

    Fat is what you wanna lose! You are gaining muscle and tone in your body. But to loose more fat you need to be eating healthy with all the working out.

    muscle weighs more than fat. It’s not unusual to pick up some weight at first. at about 6-9 weeks it levels off and you begin to lose weight. At least that’s what the personal trainer at my gym told me.

  7. just wondering says:

    You are losing fat and building muscle, which ultimately should help rev up your metabolism and help you lose more fat. A slight weight gain isn’t bad, because muscle weighs more than fat, but you don’t want to keep going in that direction. Keep up the exercise, but make sure to watch your diet too. To lose weight, you will need to burn off more calories than you consume.
