How to lose weight and NOT gain muscle? -

How do you gain weight and become toned without becoming bulky? My goal is to lose 50 pounds in 6 months and become slim, not buff. Any ideas? Thanks!

You can t get toned without gaining muscle, as that s what toning is. Being toned is being all muscle. However, to lose just weight then change your diet, lower your caloric intake, it will take longer if you don t exercise, but you will still lose weight, just not as fast.

Losing weight and gaining muscles are done exactly the same way.Cardio: lose fat weightWeight training: gain muscle weightYou do both if you want to either lose weight or gain muscles. No exceptions.The factor that determines if you your workout will either lose weight or gain muscles is food.Example:More food = gain muscle weight/size, fat weight stays the sameLess food = muscle weight/size stays the same, lose fat weightSo if you eat to lose weight, your muscles aren t going to grow (there is nothing to grow on :P)If you want to know how much you can eat to lose weight, go here:http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie��If you don t believe me, visit any gym. There is always a couple of guys who have been working out like bodybuilder for years and haven t change a bit (they are not eating enough). And the problem is they still don t want to listen :PHope this helps :)

Females cannot bulk up from any basic workout routine. The ones that you see that are bulky are doing some intense weight training and taking testosterone to promote the bulking up of their muscles. Without the testosterone they would simply be very toned...our bodies do not produce enough naturally to bulk up like men do.

well who every recommended Catabolic Training isn t very educated. Training catabolic will lower your metabolism and slow protein synthesis. just try some intense CardioSkippingSprintsBike Ridingand DO re-fuel after workouts

The only way to loose weight fast is by eating healthier or eating less. Exercising doesn t even help you loose much weight, it basically just gives you muscle. Your weight depends on what you eat.
