Low Fat Vs Low Carbs?

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:08:00 +0000

I have recently started a fitness regime in an effort to get fitter, healthier and lose weight. I visit the gym around 6 times a week and do classes including spinning and body pump. I am losing weight at a healthy rate (approx 1-2 lbs per week) but my body fat percentage remains quite high. I have been told that managing my diet can help reduce my body fat percentage more quickly than exercise alone. Which would be more effective to help reduce my body fat percentage – a low fat diet or a low carb diet? Or maybe just good old fashioned calorie counting???

20 Carbs A Day – Low Calories????muscle Loss?

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:06:05 +0000

Okay so I am 28 years old and am hypoglycemic (opposite of diabetic) and would like to lose 20 pounds or so. I did the low carb diet 4 years ago and lost 20 pounds which was when I quit drinking sodas, swore off fast food and went ‘organic’. Over the last 4 years, the weight has crept back up (husband is hispanic and loves tortillas!) I have always been active w/ snowboarding, mtn biking, kickboxing so I have a lot of muscle. Daily food is protein shake bfeast, snack of veggies, lunch grilled chicken garden salad (I go home and make), another veggie snack and for dinner I have a few beers (Bud select) and usually chicken/asparagus or beef/zucchini. I am also using the dailyplate.com to track what I eat and it says my calorie intake is only 950! This is of course taking in my excersize. Is this ok? Do I need to eat more? I feel fine and am eating healthy, but the low calories intakake concerns me. Will I lose muscle? This is not new lifestyle-been living clean for a while
