Hello guys...
I had a question about losing weight and building muscle.. I'm 5'7 and weigh 159 lbs. I'd like to lose the excess fat in my stomach. As silly as this sounds, I've heard that converting the fat into muscle is a good way of losing the flab and looking toned.. Is this true and possible? If so, what exercises can I do to get rid of the belly? If its not true, then is doing cardio the only way to lose the belly?
Btw, I did a 40-45 min Elliptical workout everyday for a month losing about 500 calories a day but didn't see a noticeable decrease in my weight..
I'd like to tone my body but due to a birth injury in my right shoulder ( Erbs palsy ), I cannot lift weights in that shoulder more than 30 lbs since my deltoid muscles are extremely weak in that arm. While I do not want to bulk up, I'd like to have a muscular appearance so what can I do to achieve this?
I'm vegetarian so diet wise, I have Indian bread in the morning, cooked vegetable and wheat bread for lunch ( along with multi-vitamin tablets ), milk and cereal in the evening, cooked vegetable and wheat bread for dinner and two Oats and Honey granola bars before sleeping.
Thanks much.
