Slimming Sports

I will get straight to the point: sports will not make you lose weight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a great fan of staying fit, both for mental and physical well-being, but it will not make you lose weight. However, you will have a nicer shape as you become more firm with increased muscle mass.

When I first started to gain weight, I thought I would just start exercising again and it would all go away. Instead, I gained even more weight. With the help of technology (something I will explain in my next post), I understood that I was compensating for my calorie burn with extra calorie intake. Excercise makes you more hungry, so you eat more. To some extent perhaps you also need more, but most importantly you need to eat right.

The bottom line is, no matter how long you slave away on that treadmill, it is extremely hard to achieve a calorie deficit with exercise. In fact, you might gain weight as muscle tissue is more heavy than fat tissue. However, you will feel more energetic, healthier and firmer with exercise so it is a vital part of the transformation.

Be careful however, not to starve yourself while starting an exercise regime. Make sure you nourish yourself sufficiently to be able to perform in the gym. The key is not to overdo it; not to overdo the exercise nor the diet.
