AdrienneP Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's too generalized. However, in practical terms this is purely technotalk, and these ratios don't make a big difference when it comes to losing weight and decreasing your body fat. Ratios absolutely make a difference, depending on what workouts you do. If you are doing a lot of cardio, you can eat more fat than someone who only lifts weights. You need a lot of carbs for energy and plenty of protein to make sure yor body doesn't use its own muscle mass for energy. It also depends on the individual. Very overweight people will have ann easier time losing than those who are only a little overweight. Efficient weight loss isn't that simple, unfortunately. There's no "one size fits all" diet. ~ Adrienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not enough for most people to stick to the basic, staying on a calorie deficit, eating small meals throughout the day, and making sure to get enough proteins?

Maybe in the beginning, when one first embarks on the "weight loss plan". Eventually there will come a time when just creating a calorie deficit won't be enough. It usually happens to those who struggle with losing those "last 5 or 10". ~ Adrienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashnburn Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 The original question I wanted to place was.. Is it possible to build / gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? (Anabolic, Catabolic ..etc)?? Ive heard so many varying theories here.. I thought might as well get another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
