Unexpected results over the last 8 weeks. I've reduced calorie intake
substantially, increased water intake, exercise intensity and frequency but
the scales aren't really moving a great deal. A kilo here and there but
nowhere near as much as I was expecting.
Measurement wise, my abdominal girth isn't changing a great deal either, but
still the belt's gone up a notch so I'm not complaining too loudly. Chest
has increased a about the same proportion, but my pinch test has shown quite
a substantial reduction (a decrease of 6% in body fat %). People also
comment that I look different lately, particularly in the face, and I'm
definitely stronger both on the bike and in the gym. Endurance levels don't
seem to be hugely different though.
No doubt about it that I'm definitely getting leaner (muscle is denser and
weighs more than fat etc) but I was under the impression that X x calories =
X body weight, so a reduction in calories should have lead to a
corresponding reduction in weight on the scales. Why is it not so? Is my
body getting more efficient perhaps?
