For the masses of people out there about to try the new 30 day crash diet or miracle body changer (or whatever marketed non sense they'll try) please read this and give it serious consideration.
Your body composition changes through what you eat. Again, the visuals of your body, the composition (body fat to fat free mass ratio) changes largely by way of what you eat. The process to change your body's composition/aesthetics is a plodding process whereby you change those things you eat, and it is a change for a long term basis.
Cardio exercises (while in few cases can tangibly effect body composition) improves your cardio vascular system. That is good.
Resistance training (while this will improve the body's ability to reduce BF) is to tone and in some cases of specific resistance training (progressive) will notably increase FFM to varying degrees. This is a good.
Better eating comes first!
I see this so much. Someone wants to (often desperately so) to lose weight and they start cardio and/or resistance exercises (unfortunately often willy nilly/improperly) while food intake choices barely change. If it does it is quasi starvation that will not work. Chances you can outwork bad eating are extremely slim.
Don't fall for the marketing gimmicks, don't look for that 30 day insta result. Listen changing one's eating is easier than you think, you can do it, it starts with knowledge of food, and one day-one week at a time. The combination of better eating with just barely moderate cardio/resistance workout WILL have a very good effect on body composition and is something that can be a permanent change.
These are not my rules, these are natures rules.
