Question by ttcl l: how to lose weight without gaining muscle?
i’m a little over 5′4” and weigh about 116 lbs. i don’t have a big frame but i have two medium sized roll on my abdomen. i have really fat arms and legs (my whole family has it) and i would love to lose them. yes, toning is good, but i actually want to lose the fat. i was on the swim team before, and it was intensive training. it did help me get in shape more, but my pouch never went away, my shoulders did not look faminine, and my leg muscles were so buff that all my jeans wouldn’t fit anymore. i like doing cardio exercises at times to lose weight, but i really don’t want to gain anymore muscle on my legs. is there any exercise that can help me lose weight and not gain muscle? also, i know lunges are good for butt muscle, but wouldn’t that make my thighs huge too? its been more than a year since i swam, and now, my thighs still bulges out like crazy…is there any way i can lose that muscle/fat on the front of my thighs? would swimming slowly help since intensive swimming made me look like a man? thank you in advance! oh by the way, if you guys know any “face exercise”, please tell me too! i have really chubby cheeks!

For you there’s only one answer: high intensity interval training. Just 24 minutes a day and you’re done. Rest maybe once or twice a week.
Next, and this is key, up your intake of protein. I recommend you eat salmon or snack on sardines [buy the ones in olive oil, water, or the natural sardine oil ONLY] Do this daily if you can.
If you are really motivated and serious you can even take a whey protein isolate shake daily, RIGHT after your work out. After about a month you’ll see very pleasing results. After about 3 months you’ll be shocked. For more reference see: http://www.igainmusclelosefat.com
