Wow! I was amazed to find out that my current diet will not allow me to gain muscle mass. The only thing that is happening by my calorie reduction is a loss in both fat AND muscle.
Apparently, you need to eat more calories in order to build muscle mass. You cannot lose fat and build muscle at the same time, as stated in this GoAskAlice@Columbia.EDU article. So to transform you body into a more Jessica Biel-ish figure, knowing the biology behind our bodies and how eating and working out effects them is imperative.
By the way, I consulted with my boyfriend on this (by the way, I put up a new pic of us...isn't he so cute!) and he said he has been telling me this all along - oops! Now I have to decide what approach I want to take and how I am going to get my celebrity figure.
I will let you know...
