Fitness Magazine article

[Guest guest]

Anyone get Fitness Magazine? There is an article in the new issue

called Lessons from Fad Diets. It talks about Atkins, Body For Life,

Somersize, Sugar Busters and The Zone. The only thing bad they said

about BFL is that the free day wont work cause " You can do a lot of

damage caloriewise in 24 hours "

I'm curious though, their study showed that women following this

program for 8 weeks gained an average of 1.75 pounds of muscle and

lose 3.5 pounds of fat? Does that sound about right? I am on my 7th

week, have lost 4 pounds but did that the first 4 weeks, nothing

since then.

Re: Fitness Magazine articleA possible explanation is that your

leg muscles are growing under the fat. Eventually I think fat loss in that area

will kick in and they will look more shapely.A tape measurement that should

almost always go down is your waist.Andy & gt; I'm taking tape measurements, I dont know how to do bodyfat

measurement. I can see differences in my muscles so at this point I guess I'm

satisfied. Although I would really like to see that scale move. I am concerned

however that my leg measurements are going up not down. Since I'm short to

begin with, bigger legs is definately not a goal(longer would be wonderful!!!

HaHA) I'm sure this will work in the long run, I've just got to stick with it.
