At present, much talk about miraculous diets and promises of rapid weight loss, and there are many people who go from one diet to another, without the desired results. Many people spend years before disabused and reach the final conclusion that all followers of the “fitness” and “bodybuilding” already know: the weight is controlled through balanced diet and exercise.

Weight loss, as its control, are given by various psychological and physiological factors, but as a basic principle we can say that energy balance is the difference between energy consumed and energy expended, which is the same as saying: ( diet and exercise). Therefore, if you consume more calories than you spent, you’re in the presence of a positive energy balance, which results in weight gain and conversely, if the calories consumed are less than the old ones, it will in the presence of a negative energy balance, which results in weight loss.

Weight training (bodybuilding) is closely related to the consumption of calories consumed by the body and acts in three ways:

1 – Each year, whatever it acts using or consuming calories to feed the muscle, and the more intense the exercise and longer takes place, the greater the caloric expenditure.

2 – Exercise produces an increase in metabolic rate, immediately after finishing the training, because the body is working on a mission to repair the damaged muscle tissue for the activity, which means extra calories use for that purpose.

3 – This last is the most important since the aumentote muscle mass produced by weight training (bodybuilbing) requires a lot of energy to keep these muscles produce energy expenditure at all times, even when at rest.

Weight training is also important when we want to lose weight, because it leaves the muscle wasting or deterioration, which often happens when diets are very demanding. For example, if two groups of people with the same amount of calories in their diets, performed, and some other aerobic exercise, strength training with weights, it is possible that the group that performed aerobics, lose more weight, but some This weight is muscle tissue, whereas the group that trains with cargo, also lost weight, but avoided and shelter muscle tissue in turn raising the resting metabolic cup! What makes you spend more calories than the group that only did aerobics.

Hence we see as the “bodybuilding” has an extra advantage over other sports, in that, in addition to fat loss that demands effort to lift weights, prevents muscle wasting that occurs in aerobic and the gain in muscle mass, your metabolism gets faster!
