Lose fat or gain muscle?
So i wanna lose 30-50 lbs by next september. But i also wanna bulk up muscles. Should i lose fat first or gain muscle first?

Ok, here's the deal....start dropping weight, keep protein intake high. You will begin too lose weight, also: 4 sets of 8 reps for all exercises but abs. You will look good if you are disciplined and patient.
|
I think you must do lose your fat first, then build up your muscle. Hmm you may also try doing this at the same time.
|
good, thanks for sharing.
|
You can do both if you are fairly new to training. But the longer you've been training the less likely you can effectively work on both goals at the same time. Be sure you have your diet in order--can't out-train a crappy diet.
|
Having more muscle mass increases your metabolism, so losing fat would be easier if you already had some good muscle mass. I wouldn't recommend trying to do both cos you'll probably end up going nowhere, keep it simple and make sure to set goals along your way.
|
You may also want to look into a more intermittent fasting way of dieting. Ferruggia's Renegade Diet is good if you are more intermediate/advanced and have already build some of your foundation as far as muscle mass goes.
Just keep in mind that the muscle gains come more slowly after your first year or two of training. |
Weight Loss
You might as well start losing fat first, the first few months of working out it should fly off. Do some moderate cardio, combined with light weights. Focus on perfecting your form for when you want to start getting serious about muscle.
Don't jump into a super intense diet at first, go slowly into it. The more weight you lose the more encouraged you will be to eat better. Losing weight is hard, but very rewarding... I just lost 40 lbs recently and that is what worked for me. |
This worked for me
I lift for about 45 minutes, and followed up with 20 to 30 minutes of medium intensity cardio.
Count your calories and eat lean. |
I think you should drop the weight first. Then proceed with building muscle mass. Also, make sure your workout is something you enjoy and that it's something you will never miss.

You can't have it all.
To gain muscle you must increase your intake. To lose weight you must do the opposite. So it's it's safe to say, if you want to lose fat you can't gain much muscle. The first thing you should ask is, what i need to do first? Do i have to much fat? What is my main goal? What is the first steps to achieve my goal? If you have to much fat, let's say more than 14% of body fat, you should lose some weight. There is no sense on building muscle under fat. If you have under 14%, you have some fat, but not too much, you can build muscle, and add just a bit of cardio so that you don't much fat, and have a proper diet. |
At-first you should try to reduce your fat after that you can think about for gaining your muscle.
|
You can get both goals at the same time. For building up muscles high protein is needed not the fat. So through eating such specific foods that contains high protein and very low fats you can get both simultaneously.
Oyster Mushroom, Peas, Egg, Fish, Broccoli and Chickpeas are some foods for this purpose. |
That is not correct.
If you eat too much protein your body can't absorve all, so the excess is going to fat. What you need is a plan, to increase body mass or lose it. You can't achive great results cutting on carbs and fat, you need energy to lift more weight, to stimulate more muscle, make them grow. ThaĆ*s will lead you to some fat gains, but here is where you have to know your body, if you are increasing too much fat and ot body mass, 2 thinks could be happening 1 not enought intensity in the training, not hard enought 2 eating too much, or crappy diet. When cutting, you will mantain the protein intake, and cut the carbs, you will not grow much, and you will eventualy lose some muscle, but the idea is to keep the most of the muscle with less fat |
Fat Loss Exercise
:WEIGHT~13:For weight gaining you need to focus on your diet along with exercises.Take healthy and balanced food in your daily routine. You more protein foods such as milk, yogurt, eggs, fish, green vegetables, fresh fruits, and meat etc. You should also join a gym for doing some muscles building exercises.Here is my site you may visit here to get more information.
