Want to Lose Weight? Calories Should Not Be Top Priority (Here's What Should)! by Heather Frey

Hi Mei Marcie! A few things - First, are you eating enough protein? And are you lifting enough weight to build muscle? Those 2 elements are absolutely necessary. First, protein is your building block to make muscle so without enough there's nothing for your body to build with. Secondly, you need to lift weights heavy enough to give you a struggle at 10 to 15 reps. In order for muscles to grow you need to let them know they need to get stronger! So you have to lift heavy enough to let them know that. And lastly, really examine your nutrition. A food journal is a sure fire way to get to the bottom of things. Write down EVERYTHING, even the bites and nibbles. It's a great way to see where tweeks and changes can be made. Remember - Protein and good carbs at every meal feed your fitness, your vitamin and mineral needs, your fiber needs and energy needs!
