Losing body fat is not the easiest of propositions; just ask anyone trying to lose that last ten pounds. It often seems as if the more persistent a person is, the harder this stubborn body fat is to lose. Whether your goal is to get into top shape for a bodybuilding contest or to look good for the beach, fat loss is arguably the biggest incentive to train.
Too Much sugar and less control
But just how much body fat should be lost to achieve the kind of definition that accentuates the separation between muscle groups, and highlights that all-important abdominal area? It really depends on one’s goals.
Some of the reason for the higher spending is that millennials eat out — either by dining at the restaurant or getting takeout — nearly five times a week, according to a study released in June by Bankrate. That’s compared to an average of just 3.4 times per week for Gen Xers and 2.5 for Boomers, the study found.
That’s a problem for two reasons. First, it takes a bite out of your bank account. “Often, it’s the minor, habitual expenses, such as take-out and alcohol, that wreak havoc on your budget,” says Sarah Berger, a millennial money expert at Bankrate.com. And there’s little doubt that millennials could use the extra money: They’re way more likely than boomers (56% vs. 29%) to report that they often spend more and/or don’t save as much in a month as they want to, according to data from TD Ameritrade.
What’s more, dining out can lead to weight gain. When people eat out, they inhale an average of 200 more calories than when they eat at home, a 2015 study of more than 12,500 people published by Public Health Nutrition found. And government research finds that “when eating out, people either eat more or eat higher calorie foods — or both — and that this tendency appears to be increasing.” Further studies also show that people who eat out more tend to have more body fat.
