How To Lose Weight And Build Muscle At The Same Time

By Howe Russ


When it comes to fitness, most people find it difficult to set a realistic goal. In fact, if you ask any health and fitness enthusiasts at your local gym to describe their goal you're probably going to hear them telling you that they wish to learn how to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. Sadly for most, they never reach their target.

We're going to teach you the main reasons people find it difficult to achieve their fitness goal.

While those who are in their first few weeks of training are able to enjoy both fat loss and hypertrophy because of the shock caused to their body by their new healthy and active lifestyle, this period is short lived. Before too long they need to make a choice. What is more important to you right now?

If you are trying to figure out how to lose weight the first piece of advice you will encounter is that you must work at a calorie deficit. What does this mean? Basically, in order to lose unwanted body weight you will need to eat less calories than you currently do each day. That's the first rule to shedding unwanted weight.

Individuals looking to grow, however, have to try adding calories to their diet in order to gain size.

The two goals are complete opposites which can't really be put together in the same routine. It's impossible to eat less calories per day when you are eating more calories, right? For this reason, so many people train without any goal and therefore get no results.

Take some time and work out what you believe is more important right now. In the next three months you should focus purely on one thing. Once you reach your desired level, begin focusing on the other.

When you deem yourself to have reached your first goal you can focus on the second.

Sometimes the easiest way to achieve two different things is to focus on one thing at a time. This is particularly true when it comes to fitness.

If your primary goal is hypertrophy then you can get very, very far by simply applying some of the old proven rules towards your lifestyle. Old classics such as focusing your gym sessions on compound exercises and focusing your diet on a good intake of carbohydrates never go out of fashion.

Figuring out how to lose weight or how to build muscle isn't rocket science. The fact is most people already know the basics, such as calorie deficits and surpluses, but they struggle to separate each goal and never truly get any further forward as a result.
