Eat more and exercise

Diet Club

I used to think that eating less made me lose weight. Since doing some study on exercise science recently, I found out that too few calories actually brings about weight loss through muscle depletion, not fat loss.

If you don’t consume enough calories each day for simple functions, your body stores what you eat as fat and feeds off your muscle tissue instead! As our muscles are what consume calories, this is a very bad thing!

So I’ve started to eat more of the right things, less of the bad, and I took up weight training to go with my power walks. What a difference! Now I feel 25 instead of 45. And I only train 2 times per week for 30 minutes. How good is that?
