Diet and Workout Maintain Bone Health
By Andrea Pelin, Project Weight Loss Editor September 17, 2008 Regular workout protects the bones from the effects of a calorie-restricted diet, according to a recent study. Since working out prevents bone loss during voluntary weight loss, calorie deprivation should be combined with exercising in order to achieve a balance between losing weight and preserving the bone, according to Dl. Villareal.
Over a one-year time period, nineteen people followed a calorie-restricted diet, another nineteen ate as usual but engaged in regular workout, and ten people from the control group only followed a healthy lifestyle. The results showed a weight loss of about eighteen pounds and a bone density loss of more than two percent among the dieters. The exercisers had a weight loss of almost fifteen pounds and no significant changes concerning bone mineral density. For the healthy lifestyle group there were no changes about the weight loss or the bone mineral density.
Eric's Note - This study showed that people who exercised and ate normally without restriction lost weight and maintained bone density while the dieters lost more weight at a cost of more bone density loss. SO by exercising and following a good nutrition plan, you can lose weight from bodyfat and not lose weight from lean body mass which includes muscle, fluid and bone density. This also shows why it is important to follow the nutrition plan in order to get all required nutrients. Any nutrition plan that cuts out a certain macronutrient (protein, fat and carbs) opens you up for deficiency and related health issues. So make sure you are eating the proper amounts of protein, fats and carbs (with alot of green leafy veggies) and you will be fine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are interested in the warp speed fat los program, I offer it in two ways. 1) i take you through it personally for 28 days or 2) you can do it yourself in 28 days. The program is complete and is a blueprint for success. Remember that this is a 28 day program to jumpstart your progress or break a plateau. It is very similar to my standard program but it uses low calories and carb cycling for rapid short term results. You can check it out here:

Your success depends on how close you can follow the three phases of my proven program:
Metabolic resistance training (what you do with me during our sessions), Targeted fat loss cardio / high intensity interval training that you do in between sessions and the nutrition plan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember to do your cardio in between sessions.
Here is the targeted fat loss cardio routine again:
