Cardio And Muscle-Loss

Yesterday,one of my friend asked me this heavy question..that how much cardio he can do for losing fat and

   without losing muscle..?Well..he asked that question because of this common belief in fitness industry that 

    cardio can make you lose muscles...to prove it you can take example of a marathon runner...you know how 

   they look....wright...?So here are few tips you can use to overcome this problem....

1.Too much cardio can make you lose muscles..TOO MUCH CARDIO..means if you are running 5 to 10km

    everyday..

2.Running for 10 to 20 mins will not going to affect your hard gained muscles.

3.You can do cardio at any time doesn't matter pre or post weight training.

4.Post weight training cardio is better for burning more fatty acids...if  you are looking for fat loss do 10mins of

    running at or above 12 kmph.

5.If following a low caloric diet than one should better consume adequate amount of protein or bcaa..to preser-

    ve muscle mass..at least 0.8 to 1gm/pound of body weight.

6.Cardio is not the only way to lose fat, weight training is more effective as it helps you to burn more calories 

    through out the day.

7.Use proper running shoes.

8.Jogging at a low pace can cause knee problems..so you better increase your speed .

9.Walking on inclined trademill is good but one should do it without grabbing those handles.

10.Do HIIT or normal running,at the end of the day what counts is how much calories you have ingested and 

      how much calories you have burned..

So,those are the few tips one should keep in mind while doing cardio...please leave your comments and

Hypo-Thyroid And Weight Loss

Today is world thyroid day..so i decided to write something about thyroid. In India itself there are around 4 crore people dealing with this problem.And i think its lack of knowledge about thyroid which is making the
situation worse.So one should have basic knowledge of thyroid problem and how it can cause health related
problems..most common is gaining weight.Here are few reasons which lead to this problem..
1.If Thyroid gland is not working properly.
2.Lack in the production of Thyroid harmone in our body.
3.Lack of iodine.
Now it sounds like we don't have any control over these things but with proper medication one can get control
  over this ..most people (LADIES)think that thyroid is the only reason for their excess weight.so they point
  finger on this thyroid for not losing weight..but problem of gaining weight is related to our lifestyles or we can
  say upon our metabolism.So in order to lose weight we should focus on our eating habits...like eating every
  two to three hours keeps our metabolism high and same thing weight training does..and one can make com-
 bination of both to lose weight but as its a harmonal imbalance,we should take help from nutritionist and he/she
  would tell you what to eat and regarding your workout,ask your trainer for a good weight lifting schedule...
  that's it..and you will start losing weight.
  So next time when you enter the gym do some good stuff like squats,deadlifts,bench press,shoulder press,etc
       instead of doing that slow steady boring cardio..and remember thyroid can make you gain 2 to 3 kgs of
       weight not more than that...basically it depends upon our metabolism..so thyroid is slowing it down and
       you are boosting it up in two ways ..eating wright stuff and workingout good.
  Now you don't need to blame thyroid for all the weight you have gained because you know its only you..who
       is messing things up by not following a good life style..
  And here are few things you better stay away from:-
    1.soy products
    2.cabbage
    3.broccoli
    4.strawberry
    5.reddish
    6.pineapple....what else..?ASK YOUR NUTRITIONIST..
