I need to grow mine out.<BR/><BR/>2) If you cut back on your caloric intake, your body reacts by storing fat. It's a leftover from the days where we were hunter-gatherers and couldn't always find food... Charlie's right. To burn fat, you need to eat more than you're doing (as long as it's healthy, good-for-you stuff).Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738948576197912116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417134566894844256.post-47920856402491277502008-07-18T09:00:00.000-05:002008-07-18T09:00:00.000-05:00The problem is, that even if I am gaining muscle m...The problem is, that even if I am gaining muscle mass (and weight) - I'm not losing fat! I don't mind if it's a trade off, but Charlie is probably right - if I'm not eating enough my body will hang on to all my fat....ugh. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the input guys! Tell Charlie I want to hire him. :)Helliferocioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439200460540939798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417134566894844256.post-8029890419710581202008-07-18T08:13:00.000-05:002008-07-18T08:13:00.000-05:00Ok, this whole muscle vs. fat thing was bugging me...Ok, this whole muscle vs. fat thing was bugging me so I asked Charlie (certified personal trainer). This is his input<BR/><BR/>"She is in fact GAINING muscle mass- that is why she is gaining weight. However, fat does not weigh more than muscle- 5lbs is 5 lbs. Fat however is more "bulky" while muscle is more dense.<BR/><BR/>Just tell Sara to hang in there- I would actually recommend she eats more than 1500 calories!"<BR/><BR/>Just thought i'd add a professionals opinion in there.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911576772315675721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417134566894844256.post-29993406265169339292008-07-17T19:57:00.000-05:002008-07-17T19:57:00.000-05:00Yeah, I wish it was muscle weight, but I'm 'fraid ...Yeah, I wish it was muscle weight, but I'm 'fraid not, lol. <BR/><BR/>"the vegan" is the guy I asked if you knew!

And dating a married man can certainly have it's drawbacks, but overall, it works out pretty well for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417134566894844256.post-4900989803597763732008-07-17T12:10:00.000-05:002008-07-17T12:10:00.000-05:00Did you think that maybe the weight gain was muscl...Did you think that maybe the weight gain was muscle gain from working out?<BR/><BR/>But I'm glad to hear about your date and internship!
