Mend Your Diet

Is weight loss exponential following the initial few weeks of an exercise regimen?

I am into my 4th week of a rigorous exercise program. So far, I haven't noticed much weight loss. Will it accelerate once I build up some muscles, say by the 6th week? And then afterwards, does it plateau?

1. thats tricky. if your eating a regular balanced diet and only excercise, you might convert instead of loose. fat feeds muscles when their worked out, hence muscles get bigger, weighing more. i would try measuring your self, your waist thighs arms ect to get a better idea. i go sick of the lack of results from just the excercise program so i hopped onto the extreme dieting banwagon and lost it all, very quickly, very sickly. If i where you, i would slightly reduce my fat intake, increase vegges and tough it out. youll be a lot healthier that way. Dont let yourself get upset, that what i did and it messed me right up *Have an eating disorder now*. try eating most of your meals with negative/low calorie foods such as: apples apricots artichokes asparagus beets blackberries blueberries brocoli brussel sprouts buffalo fish cabbage cantaloupe carrots cauliflower celeraic celery cherries chervil chicory Chinese cabbage chives clams cod corn crabs cranberries cucumbers currants damson dandelion eggplant endive flounder frog legs garlic grapefruit grapes green beans honeydew melon huckleberries kale kiwi kohlrabi kumquats leeks lemons lettuce limes lobster loganberries mangoes mushrooms muskmelons mussels mustard greens nectarine okra onions orange oysters papaya parley leaves parsnips peach pear peas peppers pineapple plum pomegranates prunes pumpkin quince radishes raspberries red cabbage rhubarb rutabagas salsify sauerkraut scallions sea bass shrimp sorrel spinach squash strawberries string beans tangerine terrapin tomato turnips watercress watermelon zucchini and then have 1 regular modest meal to get the other nutrients you need. you wont feel starved as you can eat as much of the free foods as you like, and you wont feel deprived as you can eat anything in your 1 regular meal a day. DONT use dressings on the veggies, or becareful which ones you do use, thay are full of calories and are teribbly fattening. same goes for butter. you can use either if you need to, just in MODERATION. you'll be happy, healthy, and loosing weight on your excercise program ,with this change in eating habits.
