losing weight vs. body scuplture

these 2 things are different.

losing weight = seeing numbers on the weighing machine scale
body sculpture = seeing numbers on body(parts) measurements

and exercises are generally 3 different kinds (they shd be balanced):
1) cardio. That's to increase the metabolism, to burn up fats more regularly & faster. This includes faster-paced & more complicated aerobics, jogging, cycling, rope-skipping (for more than 30mins).
2) weights. That's when the main intention is converting fats into muscles. This includes all those gym equipments, lifting weights.
3) toning/sculpturing. That's to stretch out your muscles and prevent bulkness. This is mainly slow & low-impact focusing on stretching like Pilates, (most) Yoga, doing light but repetitive actions.

In the initial stage of the whole exercising deal, weightloss is visibly faster because the body has lotsa fats to lose & the body is suddenly stimulated by an increase of exercises. Then, there will be a slight increase of weight as fats are being converted to muscles, and muscles are heavier than fats. There will be weightloss again but getting less & less till it reach a stagnant period b'cus the body got used to the amt of exercises. This is when there should be an increase of exercises or change of exercises to stimulate the body again.

red meat = acidic = toxins = additional weight. Our body accumulated toxins fr our food & external pollution. Thus, body detoxification, which means to flush out toxins fr the body by several means: detox healthfood, drinking water (natural detox) + massaging (breaking down fats) + exercising (sweat it out), fasting. In the initial stage, it will show some significant weightloss as it clears out the accumulated toxins then it's just becomes daily maintenance.

Losing weight & Weight Maintenance are also very different.
Losing weight = burning more fats than consumed fats. recommended exercise 5-7daz/wk. 45mins & more per session.
Weight Maintanence = buring off the daily (bi-daily,etc) consumed fats. MINIMUM shd b exercising 3dayz/wk 20-30 mins per session.

exercising 1st 20 mins = the body warms up
after 20 mins = cardio. heartbeat increases, blood pumps faster
after 30 mins = starts burning fats

another BIG factor to the whole thing is GENES. If half of your family generations are fat, u can expect a tough fight. Hard work & diet alone do not mean things will work out as fast & ideal on everyone...

If anyone is looking into those various diet plans or diet pills, read thru' 1st & know whats in for u oh!
