“Muscle Burns Fat!”

This article was taken from bodybuilding.com and written by Buff Mother. You can read more about her and her amazing transformation HERE.

Our society loves beauty. The most beautiful bodies are lean, symmetrical and firm, or in one word – buff. So why do we see so many women starving themselves trying to be skinny? Lack of knowledge is the epidemic.

The problem is too much focus has been placed on dieting and doing cardio, and not enough importance placed on weight training. Most women don’t understand that weight training is how they can shape their bodies, into the buff bodies they want.

All the experiences that I’ve gone through in my quest to be buff have culminated into a revelation: Muscle burns fat! I’ve known this scientific fact for years, but for some reason I didn’t realize what it meant. It means the more muscle you have on your body the more fat your body burns.

So if you want to get rid of the fat on your body, lift weights and build strong active muscles that will eat the fat off your gut and butt! Remember, muscle burns fat!

Muscle Facts

• After puberty your essential muscle growth is over and your muscle starts to deteriorate.
• As you age you lose muscle. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.”
• The act of pregnancy further accelerates your muscle loss. The amount of protein your baby needs to develop requires the baby to steal protein (muscle) from you!
• Dieting and aerobic exercise without strength training causes muscle loss.
• Weight training re-builds your lost muscle.
• Women who weight train won’t increase their muscle size much, just their muscle’s density and strength. So forget the fear of “bulking up.”
• MUSCLE BURNS FAT!!!!

Why Is Muscle So Important?

• It is the driving force behind your metabolism.
• Muscle is an active tissue that is constantly renewing itself therefore requiring energy (calories).
• The primary source of energy for muscle is fat.
• Muscle gives shape to your body.
• Muscle helps you perform optimally as a woman.

The more muscle you have on your body the more fat you burn and the more calories you burn. If you have a certain amount of muscle on your body you can eat a reasonable diet without gaining weight. This is called a good metabolism. A good metabolism doesn’t happen by accident. I do admit genetics play a part in metabolism, but you’d be amazed how much metabolism can be affected by your life choices.

Keys to Good Metabolism:

1. Weight training
2. Nutritious eating
3. Interval training
4. An active lifestyle
5. Consistency in all of the above

Challenging Yourself

Muscles are very smart. If challenged to the limits of their capabilities they realize that they need to rebuild themselves even stronger. Then when faced with that same challenge they will be able to perform at a higher capacity. This is the key to understanding your weight training program.

You must find a way to challenge your muscles. Lifting the same weight every time you perform an exercise will maintain what muscle you have, but not change them. I don’t know many people that like spending an hour in the gym to stay exactly the same.

Here are some supplements that I have used in my quest to build fat burning muscles:

• L-glutamine
• L-lysine
• L-tyrosine
• Creatine
• NO2
• CLA
• Flax seed oil
• St. John’s Wort
• Caffeine
• Whey protein
• Lubriflex
• Move Free
• Gaba
