Everywhere you look there seems to be less people who are and look healthy.
The majority of people are overweight and obese, others are way too skinny and now there is a body type appearing - skinny fat people.
This means that a person has too little muscle and too much fat.
Thin and skinny does not mean healthy and lean.
Start building muscle and losing fat The ideal body composition that less and less people seem to have is small amounts of body fat and large amounts of muscle mass.
This gives a body that lean and trim look that most people, who want to lose weight are after, not that horrible skinny look.
People should exactly know how they want to look and what they have to do to achieve this.
If you have low body fat with high percentage of muscle tissue then your body is healthy and in good shape.
The risk of getting all sorts of diseases is much lower, people have a lot more energy and strength and feel better.
But if you look like a skinny fat person then you are in bad shape.
The less muscle you have the weaker your bones obviously are, which can cause osteoporosis.
People usually make the situation even worse by going on severe diets, to get rid of that fat.
But this only means you will lose even more muscle tissue and fat loss does not occur when people are on severe diets.
You can´t starve your body to lose fat and build muscle, the opposite to that has to happen.
Burning the fat and feeding the muscle is the key.
You can do that by weight training to build and maintain your muscle tissue.
The more muscle mass you have the more your body burns calories, so fat loss gets easier, the more you have muscle.
Eating more natural and unprocessed foods without skipping meals is also important.
Basically if you want to start building muscle and burning fat then you need to take a completely other direction than diets.
