Building muscle and burning fat – how it all fits together
Many people who want to lose weight and build muscle focus mainly on the number on the scales. However, losing weight does not always mean losing fat. The body is made up of muscle, fat, water, and bone, so changes in weight can be caused by several different factors. To understand how you can build muscle and burn fat, you need to know how your body uses energy and what influences your calorie expenditure over time.
Diets for weight loss – which ones work best and offer sustainable results?
The keto diet, the 5:2 method, Paleo, LCHF and intermittent fasting – these are just a few examples of popular diets that often promise solutions to your health problems and claim to be the optimal path to rapid weight loss. But how well do they actually work – and, more importantly, how sustainable are they in the long term?
In this article, we at Yazen explore how different diets work, why many people find that they’re difficult to maintain over time, and what might be a more sustainable approach to achieving your goals.
Low-carb (LCHF): guide, risks and benefits
Low-carb eating (LCHF) reduces carbohydrates and replaces them with more fat and protein. For some people, this can lead to a lower energy intake, weight loss and, in some cases, improved health. In type 2 diabetes, a low-carbohydrate diet may help with blood glucose control. In this guide, you’ll learn what LCHF is, what to eat, and which risks you should be aware of before you start.
