Guaranteed you are burning off more muscle with a calories in vs calorie out diet vs a properly balanced diet. |
My brother in law went on Weight Watchers and was bragging about losing 10 pounds in 3 weeks. He's not the kind of guy who takes advice so I didn't tell him he dropped 10 pounds of water and muscle, and probably some poop. Trimming down by having your body eat itself is not a concept you can explain to someone who has been brainwashed by old ass ideas about losing weight. Actually it shouldn't even be called losing weight anymore -- "getting fit" would make more sense.
Another thing I noticed about these people who think they're getting in shape is that they have a target weight number. Your number should be whatever the scale says when you look like an MMA fighter in the mirror.
