dear jujube,
thanks so much for your VERY thorough post. you know so much about this stuff! your summary was as good as any article i've come across and much more succinct!
so assume you do about 45 min of a "whole body" strength workout-- legs, arms, abs. if you don't take in enough protein to build the muscles, where does the muscle redistribution occur?
also, do cardio workouts only burn calories and make your heart healthier? is there no muscle building involved? it occurred to me that anorexic girls are most often running compulsively around or spending hours on the treadmills or ellipticals; i never see them doing strength training. is that because cardio takes off pounds while strength training puts them on?
thanks for your knowledge!
