I\u2019ve spoken candidly on how the whole premise of a diet is to simply manage your food intake. No matter how many times you\u2019ve been led to believe you\u2019re \u201chacking\u201d your body, the real secret is discipline and consistency. Bulletproof coffee or apple cider vinegar isn\u2019t going to save your behind from your expanding waistline if you fail to understand the principle of calories in\/calories out in conjunction with daily movement.<\/p>\n
Q: So, let me get this straight. There really are no benefits to doing keto or intermittent fasting?<\/p>\n A:\u200b<\/strong> There\u2019s evidence to suggest there are potential health benefits from both paradigms. But as far as improvements in body composition, there\u2019s no superior diet. From my understanding, the positive results are specific to the sedentary, and obese\/overweight population. For this reason, it is not a magic bullet by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying they don\u2019t work. Regardless of what you choose to do, fat loss can occur because they both share a common theme with every other dietary practice. It should be noted that both disciplines are not optimal for lean body mass, which is critically important.<\/p>\n I will say one of the big reasons the ketogenic diet works very well for people who struggle with fat loss is because it\u2019s generally effective at suppressing appetite. And as we all know, the hardest part about losing weight is dealing with hunger.<\/p>\n Q: I\u2019m in the process of losing weight. And I\u2019m wondering, should I drop the weight first, and then tone? Or do it at the same time?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong>\u200b Dropping down to a reasonable body fat should always come first because fat loss is much faster than muscle gain. Although, untrained individuals have a large capacity for concurrent muscle gain and body fat reduction they don\u2019t have to resort to such isolating means. In other words, as long as there\u2019s a form of progression and you\u2019re eating a sensible diet, keep getting after it. It won\u2019t take long for you to see visible, meaningful changes.<\/p>\n So, on the chance you\u2019re a newbie, it behooves you to not fall off the wagon because your body is highly receptive. Once that luxury is gone, it\u2019s gone. Take advantage of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve spoken candidly on how the whole premise of a diet is to simply manage…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":308649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-311340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
