Thread: Can you see if I am right ?

I am just a begginer, Can you see if I am right ?

To loose the FAT :
- lots, and lots of cardio, running, swimming ..
- Low calorie diet, because someone told me that the fat comes from the excess of calories that you don´t use.

To gaind the muscle mass :
-Work hard, heavy weights, rest, and do it again.
-Proteins, lots of proteins, 1-2g per pound,shakes, chicken, vitamins.

I don´t understand this: If I wanna loose the FAT I have to be in a low calorie diet, but I wanna the muscle. I don´t get how I can GAIN something with a low calorie diet.

Thanks

Cardio does help but not lots and lots of it.
You don't really need to be on a low calorie diet.

Here is how it works:

To lose fat you need to create a slight caloric deficit between how many caloires you burn and how many you take in. This is created by taking in SLIGHTLY less calories than you need for maintenance and adding cardio.

You don't want to just cut calories too low, this will actually slow your metabolism. From there you can make adjustments such as increasing cardio or more slight caloric reductions.

You need to eat enough to maintain or even gain muscle and you must train heavy to stimulate muscle growth.
