Because I don’t lose weight despite sport

dietaginnadonna An article that was very successful in my blog was this : the story of a girl, among other things the editor of a fitness and diet magazine, who despite being on an extreme diet and doing a lot of physical activity not only did not lose weight, but it tended to accumulate it. You may wonder how it is possible: it is more frequent than it is said. I myself have experienced changes in my body weight of up to two kilos (practically all at once) for reasons of overtraining, while here I explain why you can not lose weight if for example you have chosen the diet that is not for you : too restrictive or even wrong, stressful for your metabolism and based on a very fake pseudoscience!
Here instead we see why you do not lose weight even though you love physical activity, both cardio and toning and anaerobic.

WHY I DON’T LOSE WEIGHT DESPITE SPORT
1) We all know that an active lifestyle allows us to have a higher metabolism:we eat and lose weight with an active life because we burn what we eat. When we want to lose weight, physical activity is very important. However, this path, which we can call the right path to always stay in shape, is not without obstacles and is not always as straight as common sense would indicate. Do a lot of sport and lose weight. It’s not that easy! Each motor activity corresponds to a weight variation in our body: the muscles in fact need water and glycogen, but also time and intervals of inactivity to “build” themselves and give us a slim body. For this reason, it may not be a good idea to train every day and, again for this reason, when we start to do a good physical activity and we are not exactly obese,
2) A lean body is a body with little fat, regardless of what the scale says: if you exercise and see a pound or two increase in the scale, consider that this is normal. If you want the scale to never move an inch, it will be difficult to gain lean mass, at least in the first term.
3) Avoid overexertion:do physical activity every other day if, for example, your muscles feel too tight, you feel muscle pain, you feel too stiff in your movements, you do activities that require a lot of effort because they are intense and you feel stressed. These are all symptoms that you probably need to review your training. One of the effects of those who do too much physical activity to the detriment of their body is to develop a condition similar to hypothyroidism, due to fatigue that leads to debilitating fatigue and a slowing of the metabolism. The body, in the face of any type of strong stress, reacts by defending itself and making use of what it has. This is true both for a diet that is too rigid (we eat little and the metabolism slows down), and for a workout that is too intense. In this case,
How to avoid all this, promoting weight loss with physical activity?
If our effort during physical activity is intense, we should not train more than three times a week. Take care of sleep and rest more carefully if you want a trained body. Try to alternate high intensity exercises or more “lively” workouts with less intense and lighter activities, such as yoga or pilates. Try to eat as balanced as possible.
Unfortunately these things take time, a little patience and a lot of intelligence to understand where we are wrong. But even in sport as in nutrition, moderation is always the key word .
