Goodmorning this beautiful Mothersday
Today i had a heart to heart talk with the guy i consider my personal trainer. He is telling me that i work out too hard and i really have to be careful now not to go into relapse...
For me it is scary to workout less, so instead of a leg-day at the gym on saturday i now go riding on my horse in the forests, which to me is really relaxing... I only do the doubly on sunday, because i just love steps, and really like kickboxing... monday is still (HIIT)spinning, and rest is going to be maintenance-workouts instead of building ones...
Back to the losing weight phase... And i am a strong believer now that you cannot build muscle and lose FAT at the same time. So maintenance for two weeks and a strict 1500 kcal of GOOD food...
after two weeks, i will review.
Having said that, i am sure everybody wants to put in their opinion about me saying that you cannot lose Fat and gain muscle at the same time, trying to prove to me that you can! Give it your best shot, i have been researching this for 6 months now and i am highly convinced that the body uses energy in three phases:
1. direct energy: sugar!
2. easy access energy: all other carbs and protein, basically your muscle tissue!
3. storage, in short FAT.
if you start to use your muscles it will use these energy sources in that order, if you really want to build muscle you must try to keep your muscle/energy in phase 1. Which means nothing more or less then EAT carbs before workout, eat carbs and protein right after workout. if you put your body in a deprived state (dieting) the body will find using energy from you muscle tissue easier then using the fat off your butt... In order to gain muscle AND lose fat, you have to build/break down/build/break down/ muscles and that is not healthy for your body... not to mention will make you tired, muscle ache, cranky and you will more easily give up... choosing a structured phase of muscle building, alternate it with a period of maintenance and weightloss, will give you a higher chance of success, and probably a more rapid result.
