How is Losing and Shaping different?

Is there any other subject that has as many myths as losing and shaping?...

Even after all these years that my mission has been to help people lose and shape and become altogether healthier...

A lot of these myths still exist...

Rather naughtily some entities like this to try and extract money from people that still believe them...

For instance in the gym I still see loads of people spending lots of time doing stomach exercises trying to tone the body fat on their stomach (which isn’t possible)...

Or those worried if they have shapely arms, legs, mid section it will turn into fat, if they don’t use it...

If you do the right exercises, at the right level of challenging at the right weekly amount, you probably have shapely muscle...

But no need to check your self quickly...

I said you probably have it, if your eating habits have the right balance and have done for long enough...

Then you can probably see it...

The two are separate, one works with the other... 

Body fat does two things in relation to ongoing calorie quantity...

It creeps on or creeps off, or stays the same or it steadily accumulates or is steadily lost...

Muscle depending if it’s used or not does two things, it shrinks or it grows...

And sorry to the ladies, although great for metabolism because of your hormonal balance, it’s unlikely to change very much, but needs working regularly to keep its shape and enable you to keep a fast metabolism...

But it won’t turn flabby if you don’t use it, but it will shrink and lose its shape and if you take on more calories than you need over time, body fat then creeps on and obscures your shape but fat and muscle don’t turn into each other either way...

But if you do your best to do muscle shaping exercise regularly and you get the eating habits balance right, then you will lose and shape.

You can do this.
