    losing weight...and muscle :(

    I have lost like 12 pounds in the last 3 or 4 months by upping my cardio regimen and eating better (less protein too) and I have lost some muscle and some fat but i dont like how i am looking. Its almost as if i am deflating and getting saggy a bit. Anyone else have this experience? This is my first year seriously boxing so i am not used to this. So is this a temporary transition or i am gonna continue to thin out and keep an layer of fat around my gut. Small layer but ****ing annoying. Help me

    this happened to me once.
    i ate very clean and neglected my weight training.
    i lost a considerable amount of weight but my muscle tone
    was not firm.
    Currently i have fixed this problem, and am working out twice a day.
    weight training in the day, cardio late night.

      why less protein? you should lift some weights and still maintain protein intake too. if ur liftin, doin all ur cardio and skill training, u will lean out real good but still look muscular. u shouldnt be lookin saggy at all its gotta be ur nutrition i'm pretty sure. wuts ur daily workout and nutrition regimen like??

        ive been in that possition before. the problem your experiencing is you have to give your body some time to catch up and get used to being in the newer weight you are or else you will feel weak and tired for a few days

          you could still keep up your protein intake, just lower your calorie intake, and dont stop lifting

            Thats the reason why you lost muscle is because you didnt take enough protien and doing more cardio.
