How to Know if You're Losing Muscle, Not Fat
Spring has begun, which means it’s time to actively prepare for the summer season.
However, in pursuit of the cherished number on the scale, many people losing weight make fatal mistakes. The weight does indeed decrease, but it is not the annoying fat layer that burns, but the necessary muscles.
How to understand that something has gone wrong? 4 eloquent signs will help you with this.
1. Oddly enough, you should be wary when the weight goes away too quickly.
Normal weight loss for a person who is not overweight is up to 0.5 kg per week.
In case of obesity, this figure can be higher if the training program, drinking regimen and nutrition are drawn up without errors.
However, excessively rapid weight loss should alert anyone.
2. Your guide should not be weight, but volume, so before you take on your body, you should measure your initial parameters and then track your progress.
3. Another alarming sign is that the weight is gradually decreasing, but there is no improvement in well-being. It is quite possible that muscle tissue is being destroyed.
4. Finally, it’s time to sound the alarm if your skin has become flabby and has a tendency to puffiness.
