how long until "muscle weight gain" turns into "fat weight loss"? please help!!!!?
I am a 22 year old female, 5′3" and 140 lbs. I have an adrenal/cone/apple body type, (36/29/35). My legs are pretty much pure muscle (used to be a jock). I have been on a sensible diet for months (50% carb, 15% fat, 35% protein), and have lost about 20 lbs in the last year. I am a vegetarian, but I get plenty of protein (thru soy, dairy and seafood). I track my food online daily and keep a VERY meticulous record of everything that goes in my mouth. Since I burn off between 500 and 800 calories a day through exercise, I end up consuming between 1400 and 1700 calories a day, which I know is a sensible range to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I have been VERY thorough about doing my reading on dieting and exercise. From what I understand, I do everything right (Yes, I drink water, eat small meals, try to avoid junk, etc.) About a month ago I started a regular cardio regimen– 30-60 minutes of running mixed with elliptical a day, with interval intensity training (Self magazine’s brainchild), about 6 days a week. While everyone is telling me that I look much skinnier, and my clothes do fit looser (I think I lost a dress size), and I lost an inch all over, I HAVE GAINED ALMOST 5 POUNDS. I know this is muscle mass, and I know the benefit of this, but not only am I jacked as is, I WANT TO LOSE 20 LBS. For my height it is NOT healthy to weigh this much. I want to be at my high school weight of 120. I know if I keep up the work, eventually the actual weight will start coming off. What I want to know is HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO STOP GAINING MUSCLE WEIGHT/MASS AND START LOSING WEIGHT? Has anyone experienced this irritating problem? Please help! Thanks!!!
A couple of points:
1. if you really want to just burn off the fat, get off the machine and go outside and do that High Intensity Interval training. Skip all other forms of cardio.
2. do the slow intense 70% near max on your weight training.
