MYTHS & FACTS
- I don't understand why my clothes are fitting differently but the scale hasn't budged. Toss your scale away. Muscle cells are more dense (tightly packed) than fat cells, so as you begin working out and building muscle tone, your inches will decrease. The scale remains the same because muscle actually weighs more than fat.
- Never underestimate the huge rule that nutrition plays in building and shaping sexy legs. If you are currently carrying too much fat, then adjustments in lowering fats, simple carbohydrates, salt and sugars are needed. By the same token, if you need to build more mass, your lean protein and complex carbohydrates consumption has to be increased. With exercises and nutrition, you are the sculptor of your own body. Go for it!.
- Cutting out a meal or two will help. me lose weight around my butt and stomach. Wrong. Skipping meals actually tends to lead to weight gain, not loss.
