and fat will never turn into muscle....
also the body gets "used" to if you only do one type of cardio .... try switching like one day bike other day run a little !!
I used to cycle every day .... and once I tried runnning and almost died ... so now I try to run and swim more often !! |
A calorie deficit is a calorie deficit. Basic thermodynamics state that if adequate
energy is not provided to the
body so it can carry out living and activity, it will make up for the
energy deficit by utilizing its existing tissues. Sure you can invoke the
starvation response mechanism. However, this plays more a role in
body composition more so than
body weight. If she is not losing, she is either adding muscle or she is eating more than she thinks, which I often find the case, no matter how adamant the individual is about her
energy intake.
Secondly, your
body gets used to all forms of steady state
cardio. Sure, switching it up can break boredom.... but I would much rather see her institute some
HIIT if
fat loss is the main priority right now.
