Losing weight but gaining body fat

Hi, I started going to the gym 2 weeks ago and lost 2,4 kg but gained body fat. I'm doing something wrong when training but not sure what to do, I need to do more weight lifting? Which kinds of exercise? And less cardio? If someone can give me an advice it would be great. Also I want to start taking whey protein not sure if is okay. Thanks

Hello, happyme13, and welcome to the forum :)

I'm really not great for advice on exercise. We have a Fit is Fun Club and you might find some answers there. However, re losing weight and fat, by far the most important thing is what, and how, you eat. Exercise has many benefits but when it comes to weight loss, it's your food choices you need to work on most.

Here's a simple plan you can adapt to your tastes phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

You'll find all our clubs and activities by following this link healthunlocked.com/weight-l... to Pinned Posts. A good start would be joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans and chat about food and exercise.

The more you join in, the more you'll get out of it so I hope we'll see you out and about around the forum :)
