May 30, 2008, Newsletter Issue #118: Gaining Weight: Fat vs. Muscles?
Tip of the Week
Sometimes physically active people not having body weight much in excess of healthy weight still want to lose a few pounds but find themselves gaining them instead. What can be the matter?
1. The weight gain is due to muscle building. To avoid this kind of gain, do lighter weights, more reps, with faster pace.
2. The weight gain is due to fat accumulation because eating even healthy foods don't guarantee from eating too much - or you can be eating foods that are wrong for your current condition. For example, low fat diet during intensive strength training can lead to "overcompensative" eating.
