An attempt to lose weight may make you lose more muscles than fat.
This causes more danger because if you lose more muscles then your metabolism will slow down and there is a greater tendency for you to preserve more fat.
It is important to clearly identify fat from muscles.
Remember that muscles are bundles of tissues that move our bones while body fats are surplus of what the body exactly needs.
That makes bodybuilding fat loss quite a complicated program to undergo.
When we just do any exercise, or if we keep attending cardio classes, or if we overwork on a certain muscle area, it is possible to look really smaller.
But are we sure we really lose fat? If we just keep working out without following a good workout program, we might not really be meeting our goals.
We could even be damaging our muscles without us noticing it because it can be mistaken as weight loss.
If this happens, the skin usually turns dry and loose.
It is always good to seek advice from a fitness trainer and have yourself assessed.
Tell him your goals, and you must really state that you want to lose weight, and shed off unwanted fats.
The fitness trainer will calculate your BMI or your body mass index and check if your weight is proportionate to your height.
The assessment will tell you how much more fat to shed off.
Then a workout program will be specifically designed for you.
Follow this workout program and see your progress.
Having a program will tell you exactly what to do, and with regular assessment and follow-up, you will be able to know if you are indeed losing fat.
