Muscle tone is an essential part of weight loss success. Although most of us are not interested in growing hulk-like in stature, it is important to increase the percentage of your body that is made of muscle. When fat is at rest it burns NOTHING, but muscle actually burns calories when you are at rest. Therefore, the higher muscle composition you have and the lower fat composition you have the more calories you burn while you do anything, even sleep!
This week we will begin strengthening the hot body Stacy has hidden under her stress and weight management excuses. We both know it is there! So, we will work on more muscle tone in the gym as Stacy works on uncovering it with her nutrition.
I am excited to see Stacy’s enthusiasm for structure. I believe that it is impossible to be successful in meeting your goals without a plan. Her plan will start with homework regarding her nutrition. For most everyone, the most difficult part is getting a handle on what, when, and how they eat. Stacy will first need to take an honest look at what she eats before making any changes. I am advising her to use www.myfooddiary.com to log all of her food and exercise. This will be an interesting part of Stacy’s self-discovery.
