Many people lose weight because of obesity. And the weight loss methods, have you chosen the right ones? Many people use aerobic exercise to reduce body fat rate, making their figures slimmer. However, in the process of fat reduction, muscle will slowly disappear, and the body's metabolism will decrease, making it easier to regain weight after weight loss.
Muscle is a very precious tissue in the body, and people with more muscle also have a vigorous metabolic state.Muscle not only protects the joints and organs of the body, but also makes the figure tighter and has a sense of lines.
As people get older, muscle will gradually decrease year by year.We can find that people over 30 are more likely to gain weight, and one of the reasons is muscle loss. During weight loss, excessive aerobic exercise will consume fat at the same time, but also decompose the body's muscle, leading to a decrease in metabolic level.
Will muscle be lost during fat reduction? How can we avoid muscle loss while reducing fat and increase body muscle mass to build a slim physique?Stick to 3 methods, no fear of losing muscle during fat reduction, keep the body's high metabolic state.
1Supplement protein
Protein provides nutrients and raw materials for muscle synthesis. Don't ignore protein supplementation during fat reduction. Match 2g of protein intake per kilogram of weight. For example, for a 50kg person, you need to consume 100g of protein.
The weight of a boiled egg is 50g, and the protein content is 7g. If you don't consume other protein foods, you need to supplement 15 eggs to meet the body's protein needs.
When the protein intake is insufficient, muscle is prone to decomposition and is difficult to grow. Therefore, we need to ensure protein intake, and multiple meals will also increase protein absorption rate. Recommended protein foods: milk, chicken breast, fish, shrimp, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, etc.
2Increase the intensity of aerobic exercise
Although low-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise has a good fat burning effect, it will also consume body muscle during fat breakdown, leading to a decrease in metabolic level. If you stop exercising and restore your diet after weight loss, your figure is likely to rebound.
So, how can we reduce muscle loss?You can increase the intensity of exercise, change slow running, brisk walking, square dancing, and cycling to jumping rope, Tabata training, and HIIT training.
These workouts belong to high-intensity intermittent training, which can quickly increase heart rate, promote fat burning, and effectively avoid muscle loss, maintaining a high metabolic state throughout the day.
High-intensity aerobic training requires short time, and you can reach the burning effect of running for 1 hour in 20 minutes. Compared with ordinary aerobic exercise, it's easier to achieve a good figure.
3Add strength training
Strength training is a good way to build a muscular figure. For people who lose weight, in addition to aerobic exercise, they can also strengthen strength training to increase muscle mass and shape curves, making the skin fuller and more elastic.
The more muscle people have, the higher their metabolic level, and it's easier for slim physiques to come to you. After weight loss, your figure is unlikely to rebound. Persisting in strength training can delay aging, keep the body's vigorous physical state, and have youthful vitality.
For people who lose weight, it's better to do half an hour of strength training before aerobic exercise, then do aerobic exercise, which can effectively improve the efficiency of muscle gain and fat loss. People who don't go to the gym to lift iron can do 100 squats or 100 push-ups at home, which is obviously sculpting the figure.If you persist for 2 months, you will find that the body fat rate decreases while the muscle lines on your body are gradually visible.
