intervals on different day or AFTER weights. Weight training always goes first.

Hey Caleb

Thank you so much for this article, really made me think. But i have a question.

You said that when you do interval training to burn the fat you should also continue doing weight lifting as well so you won't lose muscle. so the question is, do i do both interval training and weight lifting on the same day and also straight after my interval training? Won't the interval training tire me out so much that i can't even do weights?

and also, do i lift the same amount of weight as before, when i didn't do interval training? or should i cut down to some lighter weights?

Thank you so much for your time and i hope that this wasn't too much of a hassle to answer

-Hope to get ripped soon

I'm 48, female, torn up knee. I recently discovered hypothyroidism started on cytomel losing weight well now. But more lean than fat. I eat mostly protein diet with some veges, fruit and dairy. I usually skip dinner to save calories. I do no exercise now but can do anything but knee involvement. I've lost 23.5 pounds but my body fat only went from 33.2 to 32.6 because of the lean loss. I'm only 5'3" but always have had a heavy lean mass, large boned. Right now 103lbs lean 50 lbs fat. What do you suggest?
Thanks Nancy

make that 100% to 150%. you dont absorb every grab you digest. if you eat a ball of 200 grams of protein you will probably only digest 30-40 grams of it.

Hi Rose,

What type of device did she use to measure your body composition?

Did you hold it in your hands, outstretched from you? If so, those are VERY unreliable.

The only reliable methods out there are 1.) underwater weighing and 2.) Bod Pod testing.

I'm going to do a post about this soon,

Best,
Caleb

ok – I'm a 60 year old female who has read so many things on the net about training and eating correctly from so many people with different views! It's confusing!
Here's my thing, I'm 5ft 10 in and weigh 91.4kg. I was 93.5kg about 2 months ago when I went to a naturopath to give me to some guidance. I've been walking to and from work 2 days per week (5kilometers) and going to the gym periodically and doing a 20min bike interval training (as per Dr Sears method) and doing 30 leg presses of say 170kg and some upper body work.
I went to the naturopath today and she does some sort of a body scan that shows fat, muscle and water content (among other things). What it showed that 95% of the weight I lost was muscle. and my fat content as actually gone up a little. I don't think that is good.
I'm a clean eater but don't eat lots (I had a stomach banding operation 20 odd years ago and just have never regained an appetite).
What can anyone reading this suggest.
Rose

I am weight training and doing interval training on a stationery bike. My body is definitely firming up, but I am not losing fat or inches, in fact have gained on the hips and thights I am a 49 year old female. What am I doing wrong?
