Muscle/fat

I just wanted to say something about a myth so many dieters believe in: They think that if they don't lose weight fast enough, it's because they're gaining muscle.

That's bullshit. It takes a lot of food and hard exercise to gain even a pound of muscle. If you start dieting and exercising a lot, the muscles in the body can retiain some water, and that goes away after about a month. That's the reason why you can gain weight when you start exercising.

Think of bodybuilders: They eat huge amounts of food to build muscles. If you're dieting, you can gain a bit of muscles if you exercise a lot, but not much.

If you're dieting and lose weight slowly, it's not, I repeat not, because you're gaining loads of muscle weight.
