Weight Loss. Lose Weight and Fat by Building Muscle and Weight Training

This is a natural weight loss technique. Weight loss takes time; there is no quick weight loss technique. The hardest part of losing weight is getting started and keeping motivated through the first few months, but strength training can help. Any weight loss program should include both a diet and an exercise plan. One aspect of weight loss that is frequently overlooked is building muscle. Dieting reduces calorie intake which causes the body to burn stored energy. There are two places in the body where energy is stored; muscle and fat. By combining exercise with dieting, the body is forced to burn more fat instead of muscle. Exercising also increases the amount of calories that the body burns and increases overall metabolism, therefore increasing weight loss. However, many people do not realize that building muscle increases weight loss more then dieting and exercise alone.

First consult with a doctor before beginning a diet and exercise plan.
To lose weight properly, eat a more balanced diet that includes vegetables and fruit. Do not starve yourself. Starving oneself causes the body to start burning muscle as well as fat (therefore half the effort of dieting is lost because the body is burning muscle and not the fat, which is the entire purpose of dieting). What should occur, is a lowering of caloric intake while still providing your body with proper nutrition to repair and build muscle.
