While 15 pounds in a month is incorrect the rest is true---and proven. Muscle does weigh more than fat and cardio is a great way to burn off fat.
I would suggest rather than telling people how 'horrible' their plan is that you would give them alternate plans to use and positive reinforcement. |
Muscle does not weight more than
fat, it is more dense. A
pound is a
pound period. It is a common
myth that even personal trainers go around saying because people want to hear why the scale isn't moving.
Fat tissue is approximately 20% less dense than muscle, so it takes up 20% more space.
A ton of bricks weighs the same thing as a ton of feathers. The weight is the same a
pound is a
pound. What we are talking about is density and mass of that space.
I am not being rude, I am protecting people from false information. This is the area that we the professionals are allowed to hand out the truth. Someone being told to lose 15lbs in a month at 4'11 and 120
pounds is a dangerous thing to say. It is this kind of advice that can lead people to starving themselves because SOMEONE SOMEWHERE said it was okay. Sorry you are not going to get that from me, it is unhealthy and unethical. I am here to give the truth and the best information I can to help these people asking nothing in return yet myself and otherd are constantly told to behave because we aren't "being nice".
modfashion may have had no idea about the advice they were given, I am not criticizing them. I am not going around telling them they are stupid or calling them names. No, I said it was horrible advice and I feel that you shouldn't give advice IN THIS AREA unless you are knowing what you speak of.
Would you get mad at a doctor who told you that you have a horrible
diet and that is why you are so unhealthy? I don't think so. This is our field of knowledge, let us do our job and stop criticizing every move we make. They made this area for people like us to answer questions truthfully. I have not ONCE been rude to an original poster of a question, I have however set people who respond straight if they are giving out wrong information.
