How do you lose weight & burn fat?

The only way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than you burn. HouseFit’s personalized diet and nutrition plans are hand-tailored to ensure you achieve a calorie deficit and start shedding pounds.

How do you gain muscle?

Just as a caloric deficit leads to weight loss, a caloric surplus leads to muscle gain (when accompanied by a well-structured workout plan). The quality of the calories matters just as much; clean eating means your muscle-building diet needs to be high in lean protein, complex carbs and healthy fats.

Will gaining muscle make me look bulky?

Gaining muscle will not make a female look “too muscular.” Simply put, women do not produce enough testosterone (male muscle-building hormone) to get “bulky.” To achieve male-like bulk and muscle tone, some women in the sport of professional bodybuilding use anabolic steroids, artificial testosterone or male growth hormone.

Can I lose weight by just exercising harder and more often?

Training longer and harder doesn’t always mean you’ll achieve faster results. Without the proper diet, overtraining can lead to burnout and minimal results. HouseFit teaches you to train smart by eating smart - that's why we provide customized meal plans.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "CUSTOMIZED MEAL PLAN"?

Your HouseFit personal trainer will customize a healthy, balanced meal plan that perfectly complements your workout strategy to maximize your results. Meal plans generally consists of lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats that won’t deprive you of essential nutrients.

How can dieting too much cause me to gain weight?

Improper diets may help you drop a few pounds, but they’ll also make you lose muscle. Muscle helps you to burn calories so it's in your best interest to keep as much muscle as you can. If you try to return to your regular diet after overtraining, under eating and losing muscle mass, you’ll actually gain the weight back due to your body’s lowered metabolism and weakened ability to burn calories. This is often referred to as a “yoyo” effect.
