| Yes, but overtraining will burn your muscle and cause a loss in that.
Look at it like this.
You can lose about 2-3 lbs of muscle a week providing the % of body fat is over about 20%
It probably takes 30 days to gain 2 lbs of muscle.
A bad diet and overtraining could in theory burn 2 lbs of muscle a week too.
But to get that back, it is hell.
You could burn it 4 times quicker than you can build it.
The idea is targeting fat loss.
The lower precentage of bodyfat you are the easier it is to burn muscle when trying to lets say take 3 lbs of weight a week.
A guy 25% bodyfat can but not 10%
When you get around 15% bodyfat, I would not want to lose more than 1.5 lbs a week and even 1 lb would be better.
Remember it takes 3500 cals to equal just 1 lb.
64 oz of water burns 50 cals
128 oz of ice water burns 150 cals
Belly fat and controlling insulin is where it is at.
Stick to lower GI carbs (except post workout shake), get some good fats like fish oils down you (12) a day.
Add fiber, shoot for 35 grams a day and this in itself will not only clean you out but also burn cals breaking down this non soluable substance and also lower insulins responce if it is in the meal.
Love handles are the last place in fat loss you will lose.
The face is the first, belly last.
