Answer from Jason Morgan: Celia, I thinks someone has taken a myth or two and some truth and combined them into one big lump of mis-information. You can over train. The syndrome of over training usually is symptomatic. Feeling lathargic, unmotivated, loss of strength and or endurance can be a good indication that you may be over training. If you are not properly fueling your body, the natural response of the body is to hold on to everything you take in and store it as fat reserve. Your body will use muscle tissue instead of stored fat as fuel. If fat loss is your main goal, you should create a SLIGHT caloric deficit below your daily requirements. Remember, a calorie is actually a measurement of energy. Only go just below your daily energy expenditure. Eat good, clean, balanced meals consisting of lean proteins, fibrous carbs, and starchy carbs about every 3-31/2 hours. Portion sizes should be about the size of the back of your hand. This should provide you enough fuel to feed the muscles and continue to release body fat. Also, don't buy into the myth that muscle weighs more than fat. A pound is a pound no matter what...Muscle is however more dense than fat and therefore takes up less space than the pound of fat.

Answer from Donna Flagg: Food for thought: I have zero scientific evidence on this, but my friends and I ran a little experiment of our own. We did less cardio and ate when we were hungry. What we found was that pushing out the extra cardio was actually stimulating our appetites and we ate more as a result. Interesting idea, isn’t it? We were shocked. So then we cut our cardio down and lost weight! Diet remained the same. Mind you however, we were not overweight, nor were we trying to shed lots of excess pounds. It was really more about trying to balance out our bodies and having an interest in understanding what they needed naturally.
