Do excuse me, but water weight and fat weight differential? I mean, why would you want to know this and how does water retention affect your life?

water retention dont let u look ripped!! haha!

Exactly. And I don't think it's a competing bodybuilder asking.
For the average person on the street and weight loss, water retention shouldn't be an issue.

If you want a body like Jamie Eason's then yes, 12%. Always aim for the best not the mediocre.

Aim for the achievable, then keep improving from there.

It's the determination that counts.

+1 i agree with this, it already hard for guys to hit 12%, and it is even HARDER for girls to hit 12%
for girls to hit 12% its like guys hitting 8%.

Thank you for the information

I need to buy a body fat measuring thingy

Hard but not impossible. I do have a training gf training very hard for the past 6 months, from 25% to 13%.

If that's what you want and you are determine enough. Yes, achievable. Depends on how much u want it.

Completely strict diet, under 50g carb and 100g on cheat day, high protein.

yes, it is not impossible,bt achieving is easier than maintaining the 12%.

btw, whats ur weight/height now?

There was no need to buy product for losing weight... Try do light exercise everyday.

and how to lose tummy????

but can water retention be reduced thru adequate exercise?n wad is adequate?

i'm not a competing BB.but water retention might be signs of something wrong with our health no?

No.

I want to lose weight, i do cardio and weight at least 4 times a week, can i eat like normal? means i will try to avoid oily, sweet and fattening food but not dieting like eating less which will makes me feel hungry. Can this way works on my weight loss? My weight is 62kg and 148cm, its totally overweight but i dont eat a lot for a meal.

Well, frankly speaking you do not eat LESS to diet, you have to eat good and SMART. You can eat normal portion but take less fat/fried thingy, take more veges and fruits. And do not starve yourself. Eat 5 to 6 small portions of food each day, eat high protein, low carb and low fat food.

:-)

hello, i'm back here again. Still maintaining at the same weight, 45kg and muscles are firming up too. nowadays busy with work so only jog on and off, but diet still good. So far so good

unless u mean kidney failure.||

'Water retention' in fitness circles usually means the gaining of water weight. You might gain a kilo or two. And not have the dry and ripped look. If we're talking about Edema where the problem might be leaky capillaries or higher histamine release caused by the body not digesting certain food properly, I feed that this is a condition better addressed in another thread rather than a weight loss thread.

LoL girls afraid of workout on weights cause they think they will pack on muscles
unfortunately most of them dont have that kind of genetics even if they want

the reality !!

wake up girls lolz
