And make sure you are eating enough protein. Most people don't. If you don't have the proper building blocks for making muscle, it won't matter what activities you do.
Yes...this was something we covered hard in nutrition class. Our instructor is a register dietician and I don't think a single one of us in our class was eating as much as she recommended.
Ironically, when my teen son needed to lose weight this summer, she put him on a diet where he could eat as much lean protein and veggies as he could consume (and trust me, teen boys can put away some food). The weight just fell off of him .... and this was without increasing his activity.
If you are building muscle, you need to increase your protein intake so that you don't burn muscle for fuel....protein is the only source of nutrients for your brain and central nervous system. Carbs and fat don't convert to the right kind of body sugar.
If i could clarify...
"While protein serves as a building block to repair and maintain the integrity of your cells, tissues and organs and fat is involved in the production of hormones and is a constituent of the membrane of each of your cells, the main role of carbohydrates is to provide energy. Some of your body cells, especially in your brain and your red blood cells, prefer to run on glucose, a type of sugar that can be obtained through the consumption of carbohydrates. When you exercise, your muscles can also use glucose as their main source of fuel".
.
Carbs are actually the energy for brain and central nervous system function, not protein.
Protein is in fact used to build muscle, tendons and ligamnets, through the amino acids.
Fats ARE a healthy and mandatory part of healthy body function.
Sounds like your son was running on Ketosis.. (atkins hybrid).. which is effective for short term weight loss, however cutting all carbs from a diet is a temporary solution with little known long term effects...
(i do nutrition)

Does everyone know the difference between a registered dietician and a nutritionist? A nutritionist is a certificate program and maybe a 2 year education. A registered dietician is a 6 year degree program (a master's degree is required).
There is so much science out there Black.. I do nutrition, but I only have basic understanding of the science.. I'm more into the work out part of things.. Diet and nutrition is not my fave Area or mY real area of expertise..
I can PROBABLY out bench press most dieticians tho!!
