re: build/shed fat

Hi girls...

I am sure this question was asked before, so I apologize ahead of time if it was asked....

Is it possible to build muscle but also shed the fat by taking a thermogenic at the same time? I know you can't lose fat and build at the same time....but I am not happy with my bodyfat right now. I feel as though my body is holding onto fat..at first I thought it was water weight, but I really don't think that is the case.....My diet is very much in check as well......

is this possible to accomplish?

Thank you

Re: build/shed fat

It is possible to build muscle while simultaneously lose body fat, it just doesnt happen often.

Generally there are two cases when it does happen: when someone first begins pumping iron after having been completely sedentary for an extended period of time, and when someone is using exogenous anabolic hormones. The former case is usually referred to as newbie gains....you might lose several pound of fat and simultaneously gain a few pounds of muscle. A sound diet and exercise routine is a given in both cases. I cant speak to what effect a thermo, or any other fat loss catalyst, might have on these cases. I'm sure someone else could answer that.

I think it's possible to build muscle and lose fat, I"m living proof. However, because I have so much fat, the muscle isn't visible yet. I can feel it nevertheless, and I know in order for it to be visible I'll have to continue cutting fat. So, I do think it's possible to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously, it just depends on how much fat you cut if whether or not your muscles will show.
