6 Pack Quest Secret: Lose Weight Or Burn Fat
A lot of people don't seem to grasp the difference between losing weight and burning fat. Not understanding the difference between the two can be the difference between getting the body you want and actually getting less fit. Keep reading any you'll understand the difference. You'll also know how to get what you want.
Those who want to lose weight aim to see a certain number on the scale. If you are one of them, you need to learn the difference, or your 6 pack quest is doomed to failure. You need a different goal. It's easy to see why many people make this fundamental mistake. They think about when they were young and fit and sexy, and remember that they weighed 110, 130, 150, 170, or whatever the number was. Then they figure if they looked so hot at that weight, all they'll need to do is lose a few pounds beyond that to have an even fitter and sexier body. A few more pounds after that and they'll be sporting 6 pack abs and looking like a fitness model. But it doesn't work that way.
To a large extent, the number you see on the scale is meaningless. It doesn't much matter what you weigh. The number on the scale tells you nothing about what really matters if you're trying for that 6 pack. Sure, if you've got a beer belly hanging over your belt, losing weight will improve the situation. It won't however, take you anywhere near your target. To get a body like a top athlete or fitness model, you need to burn fat, not lose weight.
As we age, our bodies tend to lose muscle mass. Without the proper exercise and nutrition, a person typically loses 5-10 pounds of muscle every decade after the age of 25 or so. If you're losing muscle, but maintaining your weight, you are actually just trading muscle for fat. So for most people, even maintaining the same weight you had a decade ago means you are losing ground. You're body is gaining fat and losing muscle, even if your weight isn't changing.
Even worse, it takes less energy for your body to maintain a pound of fat than a pound of muscle. So if you're losing muscle mass and gaining fat, it takes less and less food to maintain your weight. This makes it that much harder to even keep that number on the scale steady, much less actually build the body you want.
Clearly, you need to take a different approach to this problem. Your goal has to be to burn fat, rather than lose weight. Why? When you look at people with 6 pack abs, you're looking at someone who has a very low amount of body fat. No matter how much they work out, no matter how fit they are, you're not going to see the kind of muscle definition we're talking about unless they have got their body fat levels very low.
The way they do this is by working out very hard, not by dieting. The leanest people out there all exercise very hard. They work out long enough and hard enough to force their bodies to draw on fat reserves for fuel. They literally burn fat for fuel, pulling it out of the bodies storage areas and use it to power their workouts. Combined with appropriate eating, the result is that they lose body fat.
And here's an added bonus. The kinds of workouts that do this best (think sprinting and weight lifting) also force your body to rebuild your muscles bigger and stronger to handle the stress. And that takes energy, which means their bodies burn fat to do the work even after the workout is over.
And there's yet another bonus. The additional muscle their bodies build to handle the stress of hard workouts requires extra calories to maintain itself. So their bodies burns more calories during the day, even when they're not working out. That makes it easier for them to stay lean.
Which brings us to the final reason why burning fat rather than losing weight should be your goal. If you do this right, you'll be adding significant amounts of muscle mass while simultaneously reducing the amount of fat you carry around with you. You might lose weight, you might stay the same, you might even gain weight on the way to that 6 pack. The number on the scale says nothing about the amount of muscle on your frame, the fitness of your body, or what you see in the mirror when you take off your shirt.
So now you know why burning fat, not losing weight, is the best way to develop the great abs you're looking for.
