Are You sure?

Too many believes and myth have been going about.. but which is the truth and which is not. let's see........

No 1. I would say the myth of "if u hog out today you can burnt it off with a super duper intense workout tomorrow" is WRONG. Sorry to say that, and I know it's very de-motivational to announce that bt its the truth and I don't want to see people just ruin their health by doing so. i know to a lot of people, it feels awesome and less guilty to think of such.. hahaha... bt trust me when i say, what u eat today will be stored up and when you burn them off tomorrow, probably it's just 10% of what you eat yesterday and 50% of what you eat today. (I repeat, probably) If you don't believe, think of it this way. If you eat twice as full today, will you still feel full if you don't eat tomorrow? Ahh... some would say, then i eat less tomorrow... then your metabolism would decrease in turn it will store more fats cause it can't burn off the calories, carbs and fats. And when you workout, your body will draw its supply from your muscles' proteins and in turn u burn up your muscles and store fats as reserved energy. so always eat moderately, correctly and be truthful to yourself.

No 2. "the harder / longer you run the more fats you burn" WRONG again... well, truth to a certain point. If you run / jog or any sorta cardio for 15 minutes (done in an interval way) you boost up ur metabolism to burn fats.. then the longer you run, the supply in ur body depletes (you won't feel hungry... bt ur body does subconsciously) and it will then turn to your muscles again. feeding off the proteins. so proper supply of nutrients if you intend to run for a longer period.

No 3. "Eating less meals help you lose weight" SUPER DUPER KADUPER WRONG .. 1st thing 1st.. by eating less mean u starve ur body off any nutrients for the organs to function properly and furthermore, without anything in the intestine acidic liquid will be released and if this prolongs, its going to cause stomach ulcer. Then... as usual, its a taboo for any1 into fitness because without nutrients, the body's metabolic rate will decrease and it won't burn fats and again... it's feeding on your muscles. so even if the numbers on the scale decrease, it don't mean ur slimmer. It just means u've turn into a slim fatty person as the weight decreased is from your muscle weight.

No 4. "Training without rest will build more muscles" NEED I SAY MORE? WRONG!! so why is that so? We are not machines and even if we are, machine still need to rest. The number 1 priority to any bodybuilder apart from eating right and train hard is rest plenty. Only when we rest our muscles will grow. Yes! that's right.. our muscle grows when we sleep so the right supplementation during our sleep is essential. but anyways, without proper rest / off day during our workout, you are not giving your muscle time to grow. further stressing your muscles will prevent your muscle to grow to the full potential...... so u better..zzzzzzzzzzzzz .. ops.. fell asleep... lol.... get sum sleep

more to come in the future... cause i've been encountering these for the past few weeks.. so i decide to make it clear.....

  1. Thanks for clearing that up.
    I've always read about muscles being burnt rather than fat but it's still a hazy concept until now.
    Cheers, bro!
