I want to lose weight but I don't want to become muscular?

[andihatethatistillloveyou]

I want to lose weight and I workout everyday for an hour (cardio and resistence training) But I don't want to become muscular. Everyone in my family is naturally muscular and that turned to mostly fat once I stopped gymnastics. I still have a fairly low body fat percentage but I know that if I keep working out like I am I will get really muscular.

I'd like to lose the fat, but I don't want it turning into muscle. How can I achieve this?

Exercise will get u muscle and lose weight. Just dieting will make u lose weight and not gain muscle

cardio wont build muscle as much as resistence training, but if you aren't fat then your body will build muscle.

I am a nutritionist now working on being a trainer, and I had the same problem when I was younger, my family naturally builds a lot of muscle and when I stopped gymnastics and cheerleading I was struggling to work out without getting huge arm muscles and leg muscles. Lots of cardio will help , but dont be afraid of weights. The more muscle you have in your body the more fat your going to burn when you work out. More reps with lighter weights will help you strengthen muscles without building bulk ( working out to add muscle mass = more weight with fewer reps) yoga and pilates also helped me

Fat doesn't turn into muscle. Fat and muscle are two different things. Why don't you want muscle? Muscular girls are the best! But I guess if you want to look like any other girl it's your choice. I would never be attracted to a girl with your attitude.

The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.
Prepackaged fat loss products and frozen dinners are not something you can live on the rest of your live. You need to understand the basics of natural weight control, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet uses the fundamental principles of controlling the metabolism with calorie shifting normal foods you eat every day. Check my source, it might help. It's a diet that works. Good luck! http://lose-weight-experience-sharing.info

I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
