How do you burn body fat while retaining muscle mass?

March 18, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Q&A

I have been doing 1 hour of stationary biking daily for the past month in a bid to burn off body fat from my abdominal area. I also do weights training 4 times a week. I consume roughly 2000-2200 calories daily which is the recommended/slightly below recommended quantity to maintain body weight for a 22 yr old male. It has not been very successful as there is still body fat on my torso. I am not keen to go on a high protein low carbohydrate diet. If you are going to suggest one, could you kindly explain the need to exclude carbohydrates? I do not understand the need to exclude carbs when the calorie totals of 2 different diets(1 balanced and 1 low carb high protein) are equal. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Body Mass Index Formula

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

The body mass index formula is an equation based on body weight adjusted for height. It is mostly used by doctors to diagnose patients that are overweight or obese. Its primary purpose is to provide an estimation of body fat percentage in relation to an individuals height and weight. It is not, however a completely accurate assessment and many health professionals will agree. You need to take into consideration peoples overall body composition and age. For instance, muscular people will have a higher body mass index than those that have less muscle, such as the elderly. When two people have the same body mass index it does not necessarily mean that they have the same body fat percentage. For example, men generally will have a lower body fat percentage than women. Knowing that the BMI formula does not measure body fat percentage should help you in assessing the sate of your obese childs health.

Body Fat Percentage The Big Picture

It is first helpful to know what percentage of your obese childs total weight is comprised of fat. There are several methods available of doing this. However, it is worth noting that you already know the body fat percentage of your child is higher than it should be so proper nutrition and exercise is the best solution. For those who are curious here are a few examples.

Hydrostatic Weighing

Also known as underwater weighing. This is by far the most accurate means to calculate fat percentage

but it can be rather expensive and is not something that can be done at home. This method is performed by being totally submerged in water. Knowing that fat is less dense than muscle and bones it is fairly easy to calculate the fat percentage .

Body Fat Calipers

This is a much more affordable alternative and is readily available. Use the calipers to take a pinch of skin and record the measurements. This is usually done at several different locations of your body and it is recommended to use the same location when you check on your progress. You then use a formula to determine the body fat percentage. If you plan on using this method my advice is not to purchase the cheap calipers they are not very accurate.

Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis or BIA

This method uses body fat scales that send a safe small electrical current through the body to calculate the amount of body fat tissue. Your body fat percentage is then calculated based on height, weight, age and sex. It is a harmless method and fairly accurate. These scales are available in the marketplace and reasonably priced.

The Final Analysis

Helping your child overcome obesity is a challenge. Sometimes it is best to have some facts and figures enabling them to compare their overall progress. The starting point would be to first know what their ideal weight should be. This way they have a goal to reach. At first it may appear to be an unattainable goal so you need to offer encouragement and even volunteer to participate. Design a chart that you can use to record the body mass index formula results in and set a schedule for checking on their progress. Maybe set up a file on the computer to keep track of their progress.

How To Build Muscle Mass Without Gaining Body Fat

September 26, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Articles

Do you put on some bodyfat when building muscle mass? If you do, you are not alone.


When people choose to build well defined muscles to get a muscular physique, there will be two goals in mind. First is to gain muscle mass and then to lose body fat so that the muscles definitions can be seen clearly. The problem is that these two goals are in direct conflict with each other.


Why is this so? You see, when building muscle mass, you need to consume more calories than you burn up because you need those extra calories to feed your muscles for them to grow, right?


However, on the other hand, in order to lose body fat, you must burn more calories than you consume. See the contrast?


Striving to achieve both goals at the same time may not be a good approach to your bodybuilding program because more often than not, you will just end up getting getting stuck where you are. People who train with weights to build muscle mass will have to accept the fact that they will put on some body fat in along the way. So the idea is try not to put on extra body fat when you are bulking up and then cut whatever fat you have put on and more during the cutting phase.


There basically are two ways you can take when you want to put on muscle mass.


One way is just eat as much food as you can possibly stuff into your stomach. It is interesting to note that bodybuilders who take this approach will suddenly find their life to be a day long buffet since they think that the more food they eat, the more their muscles will grow.


In my humble opinion, this approach is may be flawed because your body can only assimilate so much muscle tissue at one go and after it has done so, any remaining calories will be stored away as body fat.


For those people who are gorging in more than 4 to 5 thousand calories per day which is obviously way more calories than their muscles need will inevitably result in a considerable amount of body fat accumulated over a period of four to six months, which is about the period of time most bodybuilders take to bulk up.


The second way is to take a moderate approach by only eating so many additional calories to support muscle growth. This will hopefully allow you to gain as much lean muscle tissues as possible without the accumulation of ugly body fat, which you will have to put in considerable effort to get rid of later during the cutting phase, unless you are the naturally skinny and want to put on more weight.


So that leads us to questions like how much muscles can you build? How many calories over mere maintenance of your muscles should you be consuming?


You probably would have heard of someone who claimed that he has added 20 pounds of muscle mass in merely six or seven weeks. While this may be possible for someone who has amazingly good genetics and utilizing excellent training and nutritional programs, the fact is that most people are simply not going to be able to even come close to adding this much muscle is such a short duration.


Most natural bodybuilder without using enhancing drugs can hope to achieve about half a pound to one pound of muscle per week and that is if he is doing everything correctly. If he does not have the greatest genetics or is not feeding himself optimally, then muscle gain will even be less. Therefore, by gaining a measly three to four pounds of muscle growth per month, it is absolutely unnecessary to have insanely high calorie consumption, right?


It is a no brainer that the more calorie you consume over what you body needs, the more body fat you will gain. Therefore as a general rule, keep your extra caloric consumption to about 250 to 500 calories so that you will put on mostly muscle mass instead of too much body fat.


You will also need to keep track of your current body fat level and if you see that too much of your weight gain is coming from putting on fat, then you will also need to reduce your calorie consumption slightly. Think about it, isn’t this approach to building lean muscles more practical?


There is no reason why should you gain body fat when building muscles when you are careful with what you are eating. you are eating.
