Is weight loss exponential following the initial few weeks of an exercise regimen?

weight loss
Tree asked:


I am into my 4th week of a rigorous exercise program. So far, I haven’t noticed much weight loss. Will it accelerate once I build up some muscles, say by the 6th week? And then afterwards, does it plateau?

    thats tricky. if your eating a regular balanced diet and only excercise, you might convert instead of loose. fat feeds muscles when their worked out, hence muscles get bigger, weighing more. i would try measuring your self, your waist thighs arms ect to get a better idea. i go sick of the lack of results from just the excercise program so i hopped onto the extreme dieting banwagon and lost it all, very quickly, very sickly. If i where you, i would slightly reduce my fat intake, increase vegges and tough it out. youll be a lot healthier that way. Dont let yourself get upset, that what i did and it messed me right up *Have an eating disorder now*. try eating most of your meals with negative/low calorie foods such as:

    apples
    apricots
    artichokes
    asparagus
    beets
    blackberries
    blueberries
    brocoli
    brussel sprouts
    buffalo fish
    cabbage
    cantaloupe
    carrots
    cauliflower
    celeraic
    celery
    cherries
    chervil
    chicory
    Chinese cabbage
    chives
    clams
    cod
    corn
    crabs
    cranberries
    cucumbers
    currants
    damson
    dandelion
    eggplant
    endive
    flounder
    frog legs
    garlic
    grapefruit
    grapes
    green beans
    honeydew melon
    huckleberries
    kale
    kiwi
    kohlrabi
    kumquats
    leeks
    lemons
    lettuce
    limes
    lobster
    loganberries
    mangoes
    mushrooms
    muskmelons
    mussels
    mustard greens
    nectarine
    okra
    onions
    orange
    oysters
    papaya
    parley leaves
    parsnips
    peach

    pear
    peas
    peppers
    pineapple
    plum
    pomegranates
    prunes
    pumpkin
    quince
    radishes
    raspberries
    red cabbage
    rhubarb
    rutabagas
    salsify
    sauerkraut
    scallions
    sea bass
    shrimp
    sorrel
    spinach
    squash
    strawberries
    string beans
    tangerine
    terrapin
    tomato
    turnips
    watercress
    watermelon
    zucchini

    and then have 1 regular modest meal to get the other nutrients you need. you wont feel starved as you can eat as much of the free foods as you like, and you wont feel deprived as you can eat anything in your 1 regular meal a day. DONT use dressings on the veggies, or becareful which ones you do use, thay are full of calories and are teribbly fattening. same goes for butter. you can use either if you need to, just in MODERATION. you’ll be happy, healthy, and loosing weight on your excercise program ,with this change in eating habits.
