The health industry and sporting / fitness are filled with myths about the sport. Many of these myths prevent them from losing weight properly. Some myths about the sport are used as excuses for not doing sports. Other myths about the sport are designed as shortcuts during exercise.
1) The muscles turn into fat if you do not do sports regularly
Demystifying: This is not true. The fact is that muscles and fat are two completely different tissues which are two completely different things.

Muscle tissue is specialized with the ability to conduct electrical impulses and relax or contract, which allows us to move.
The adipose tissue, also called adipose tissue, their function is energy storage. The location of adipose tissue determines its type. Thus, visceral fat is the fatty tissue around the abdominal area beneath the abdominal muscles. The subcutaneous fat lies just under the skin in various parts of the body.
What is important to know is that muscle and fat are 2 different types of tissues that do 2 different jobs. So it is physically impossible that the muscle turns to fat, or fat turns into muscle.
If you stop playing sports, your muscles will atrophy and lose their tone, but they will not turn into fat. Similarly, if you stop doing sport but keep eating, your body will store more fat while muscle mass decreases.
2) weight training makes women too muscular
Demystifying: No, not that much. When it is necessary to muscle, women lack testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone that facilitates the natural affinity of people to develop muscle mass.
That said, some people tend to add muscle mass faster than they can burn fat. This could result in development of the muscles at the beginning. But continuing to play sports and follow a balanced diet, excess fat goes and toned muscles are more apparent.

The yo-yo effect is that of losing weight (a plan) before resuming kg lost even more. For example, you lose weight of 10 kilograms but repeat 14.
Those who suffer the yo-yo cycle often speak of yo-yo:
* You start a reduced calorie diet to lose weight and do not exercise. As a result, your metabolic rate decreases (now your body burns fewer calories each day than it did),
* You stop your plan,
* Now you start to eat as much food (or even more, because of a lack of sensation) before you start your plan,
* Therefore, you take even more weight to weigh more than before the procedure (because of your metabolic rate decreased and / or because you constantly eat foods “forbidden” during the regime),
* Frustrated (e) your gain weight, you start a diet,
* Your metabolic rate decreases even more,
* You take the weight and add even more weight at this stage,
* The cycle continues.
React quickly
It is natural that your weight varies from a few kilograms, but if you see your balance indicate 2 kilos more overnight, act immediately.
Do not wait until you are on the slippery slope to return to your original weight. Renew your commitments just in food and resume your exercise to burn more calories, and you’ll see the extra weight go away again.
