Exercise burns calories and helps tone and shape your figure.
While you are exercising the body needs energy. If energy levels
are reduced because of dieting, the body will find the energy it
needs by burning up your toned muscle - not fat, as many might
think. This weight loss must not be confused with fat loss. This is to
be avoided at all costs, so it is important to provide energy pre workout
and to eat more proteins after working out and at meal times. Protein
breaks down in the body slower than carbohydrates and thus keeps
you fuller for longer.

to places where they are used and metabolised thereby contributing
