Weight Loss	Gained Weight And Panicked :/ not sure what to do!	Jul 10 2009 17:38 (UTC)	1
yeah just hang in there. if you were maintaining your weight while you were exercising and you stopped, then you're going to gain weight. so just keep track of what you eat. if you're gaining weight at 1500 calories then you obviously need less then that. don't worry about when to eat things too much. it's all just math. you obviously can't be eating 1500 calories a day, burning 1500 cal a day, and still be gaining weight. That would mean your body is running at over 100% efficiency. that's just impossible. Just hang in there and make sure you record everything you eat so you know where you're going wrong.
Weight Loss	Fat loss - not weight loss: what my trainer said :O	Jul 09 2009 23:07 (UTC)	12
yeah i often don't listen to "trainers" regarding medical advice. these are usually people who have always been in good shape, giving advice that they themselves don't really follow. besides, it's not like they are getting this info out of medical journals. it's usually rumors they've heard or something they read in "men's health." If you want to loose fat but keep muscle, just make sure you maintain a calorie deficit by counting calories, make sure you're meeting your protein requirements, and stick to your strength training (important). your body can break down both muscle and fat when on a diet, so it is important that you are building new muscle and protecting your muscles by making sure they have the protein they need, so only that fat is the one getting burned up.
