Another week of dieting and exercise and much smaller than expected results. I keep hearing that 'muscle weighs more than fat' and I have always thought this was something skinny people say to fat people so they feel better about themselves.
Here is the truth about muscle and fat and life in general. one pounds of anything is one pound, this doesn't change. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Similar to saying one pound of meat weighs more than one pound of butter. Its still a pound.
Fact: Exercising regularly will transform fat into muscle and often times people who work out regularly will have muscle gain and fat loss and see no change in overall weight loss.
This blog/ website explains this much better than I can
Here are my results after Week 3 and going to the gym 5 days this week:
Current Weight: 210.4 LBS
Loss of 1 LB this week. While disappointed with the weight loss, I am happy to report that I am building the muscles in my legs.
Ultimately my goal is to look good for my fiancee at our wedding and in our photos.
This next week:
I am traveling to New York for work this week. I hope my hotel will have a good fitness center and I can find low carb friendly food in NYC.
