Jan 24	comment	Is it physically possible to have a calorie deficit for a month and gain 5 kilos of weight while being on diet and training? Elevated exertion is responsible for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy the same as for myofibril hypertrophy. Basically, your body compensates for the extra stress by increasing the size of capillaries feeding the muscles so that they receive more fluid and, therefore, more energy. When such reoccurring periods of trauma occur, such as during regular workouts, the body triggers the sarcoplasm to retain and store more glycogen and ATP for future use as energy to meet such demands.
Jan 24	comment	Is it physically possible to have a calorie deficit for a month and gain 5 kilos of weight while being on diet and training? Perhaps the liquid sarcoplasm in your muscles has increased. No calories are required to increase the amount of water stored in your muscles, which will also add to your weight.
Jan 24	answered	Do I lose muscle or fat if I don't eat for 5 days?
Jan 24	comment	Is it physically possible to have a calorie deficit for a month and gain 5 kilos of weight while being on diet and training? Many diseases blackace. Any diseases that causes excess water retention (which include many diseases), any disease which causes bowel obstruction. These are two examples.
Jan 24	comment	Running often enough to lose weight I just think the asker will take away the wrong message from your answer that is all. Exercising 3 times a week will cause weight loss if appetite is controlled, but the weight loss will be very small. The evidence is that diet control is far superior than exercise for weight loss and I hope the asker can take that message away. Your answer is not as comprehensive as I would have liked, that is why I gave you -1.

Jan 24	comment	Running often enough to lose weight @Gigili, I deleted my main post as most people here don't care about the truth, but rather about pop science. The truth is, if you want to lose weight, you have to do much more than exercise. Exercise is for maintaining weight and fitness. If you want to lose weight, you must eat significantly less (but nutrient rich foods).Don't worry about muscle being burnt, this will happen but the body burns fat in significantly greater quantities: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/core/lw/2.0/html/tileshop_pmc/…
Jan 24	comment	How to lose weight when morbidly obese Fast. The best way to lose weight in your condition is to not eat much. Eat very nutrient dense foods to ensure you get your vitamins and proteins, but eat hardly anything (1 meal a day).
Jan 23	comment	Running often enough to lose weight Also user is asking for "optimal" weight loss training, and 3 runs a week is hardly optimal.
Jan 23	comment	Running often enough to lose weight +1 Diet control is much easier, you are correct.
Jan 23	accepted	How do legs change in response to running?
Jan 23	comment	Running often enough to lose weight -1 because you are not emphasizing that caloric intake will have to be very carefully managed in this regime. The exercise of 20 minutes, 3 times a week is almost negligible in terms of caloric deficit, and could cause an increase in appetite beyond the deficit. I would recommend exercising at least once a day for 30 minutes, 6 days a week (this is also the optimum regime for reducing chronic heart disease).
