LowCalorieMallory's Journal, 13 Oct 23

I Appear to have put back on a kilo this week😩But I’m wandering (hoping) it is due to muscle gain. I changed up my diet plan a little after learning you really can’t build muscle in a calorie deficit. To build muscle proper one has to seperate it from weight loss, and when doing heavy resistance training it’s better not to be in a large calorie deficit for a couple days after. So I upped my calories a little and protein a lot and have been pushing myself hard with resistance training to try to build muscle. Resulting in some weight gained, back up to 68. Ahh it all gets a bit confusing! I was dropping weight so fast I lost 3kg in about 2 weeks time, and I noticed my face was looking a bit droopy from facial fat loss, so I stopped trying to burn weight so fast and started focussing on body resistance training and facial yoga! (It’s a thing! Excersises for your face! Ha) . I hope this weight gain is for the best, I guess I’ll keep going with muscle building and working out and focus on that for a bit. I still have quite a bit of fat to lose tho… so im a bit confused as to how to keep losing the fat but also build muscle? Geez.. you have to be a scientist to work all this stuff out 🧐🤨

68 kg Lost so far: 7 kg.    Still to go: 3 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
