Fat Loss for Geniuses

me asked:


I’ve just started going for runs each day (only 2 so far.. but i”m hoping I can keep it up!) and I was just wondering how many runs I’ll have to do before I start to see any weight loss and fat loss?

I know that I’ll probably gain a little muscle weight to begin with, but when will I start to notice my leg, face and stomach fat start to disappear??

I’m running about 5km per run/day.

I’ve heard that significantly exceeding your target heart rate during aerobic activities can have a detrimental effect (possibly stripping you of muscle and or retaining more fat)

I am currently weight training four times per week (one day on one day off ie, mon,wed,fri,sun) in the afternoon/eve and doing 30 minutes of cardio at my target heart rate for my age and weight five to six mornings a week in addition to following a six meal a day “glycemic index” type diet in an effort to gain/retain muscle while losing fat and generally increase my cardiovascular health.

Nancy asked:


So I’ve been working out for about two weeks and I already feel better. I currently weigh about 165 lbs and I am trying to lose down to 135 lbs. I’ve started eating more snacks during the day and doing different kinds of excersizes for an hour.Obviously losing weight is going to take time, but I’ve heard that you really don’t see results until you hit 3 months of working out? Is this true?

Thanks! : _ )
