George Washington Weight Loss Expert Takes on Weight Loss Myths
Losing weight is all about numbers; this myth is now being taken on by a person from the George Washington University area who is an expert in weight loss. For a long time you have been told that one pound lost on the weighing scale is equal to one pound of fat lost from the body. It is a myth and the worst misleading weight loss concept that if you weigh less, you will look better in a bikini. Look at it this way, a baseball is heavier than a beach ball, but a beach ball is pliable and soft, whereas the baseball is firm and hard. Now how would you like your body to be?
In fact, looking great and having a healthy body is all about what the body weight is made up of rather than how much the body weight is. Suppose you are 150 pounds and 50% of this weight is body fat, you will surely not have a good physical appearance. With so many weight loss myths floating around, people go to any extent just to make their weight go down on the scales. However we are quite fortunate that an expert in weight loss from the George Washington University area is here to set the record straight.
The unadulterated truth of the matter is the amount of muscle you have determines your metabolic rate and what you look like in your swimsuit. Too many weight loss plans focus just on the scales and therefore the loss of a pound is celebrated whether it is muscle or fat. This is fundamentally wrong and has to be addressed. Muscles burn more calories and look a whole lot better in a pair of shorts than fat does! If you drop five pounds of fat and gain five pounds of muscle in the mirror, you would look like you had lost 10 pounds, however the scales would show no improvement.
In case you want effective weight loss my advice would be to follow the instructions of the weight loss experts from the George Washington weight loss centers. These weight loss experts advise their clients to measure their body composition, which can be done with a simple tape privately in your home. All you have to do is measure yourself regularly. Keep an eye on the inch loss rather than a drop on the scales.
An inch lost off your waist for example equals a 4-5 pound fat loss for men and 3-4 pound loss for women. Your goal is to maintain your weight while losing inches of fat all over your body. To do this you will have to measure all areas and then get to work on building muscle. Women can begin by measuring three basic areas, hips, waist and thighs and men should measure just their waist as this is the area men typically store fat. Ladies measurements should be done as so:
*Hips- Take the measurement while standing with feet your apart of about the hips width. Measure along the widest part of your hips.
*Thighs- Make a mark six inches above your knee and take the measurement around the thigh at this point.
*Waist- Waist should be measured along the naval.
One should take all the measurements on a weekly basis but on the very same day. A visit to the washroom must be made just before taking the measurements to ensure getting accurate results constantly. A lot of George Washington weight loss centers use this method of taking measurements because is indicates actual fat loss. - 17274
