No, on the contraty, it's hard for obese people to get tones. They will have excess skin when they lose that weight, unless they do some really good weight lifting with the cardio. If you're slightly overweight, there's not much to lose, and it's easier to get lean and toned, although results may come slower, you'll definitely have an easier time toning, since you basically just need to do muscle resistance training with weights or elastic bands. Isolation exercises are particularly good for toning the target muscle. Patience is the key to reaching any physical goal, obese people may lose more weight in a certain period of time than a slightly overweight person, but toning muscles is another story. The fat has stretched the skin, and being toned doesn't mean having less weight, it means you're body fat percentage is low enough to have your muscles visible since the skin is free from subcutaneous fat to the extent where it it is really tight around the muscles.

I don't think so. It's all in the diet for the real deal fat loss. You can exercise and tone and you will get results, but when you combine that with a fat burning diet...that's when the results sky rocket. Also, if you're getting a good protein it helps you even more.

What does a fat burning diet comprise of?

There are so many. I've done a lot of research on this and also have a friend who is a nutritionist. It's difficult to break down all the data into a quick read, but I will try. Tricking your body is really what it's about. So people that always eat a low fat, high protein diet don't succeed faster, actually, quite the opposite. When you juggle different proteins with different complex carbs and good fats, coupled with variety, your body never stays in one state...it has to constantly adjust, which dips into deeper fat loss. I have an article that explains it well, I'll send you the link. It also touches on the types of foods you should have in rotation. Also, for the muscles, it's so interesting that the best routine is one that is quite different than what I had been used to. I used to do 3 sets of 14-25 reps. While I did get results and was toned, it was too much...over training and not working efficiently. The thing to do now is a warm up set of a weight that you can lift to about 10. If you can get to 10, you know that this weight is too light. If you can complete to 8 and your muscle is fatigued, you should increase it a tad more until you've totally fatigue yourself. The goal if you've chosen the correct weight is that you won't be able to get to 8. This will be your third and final set. You've accomplished total muscle fatigue and have pushed it to it's capacity. If that makes sense. You WILL see results in likely 1 month (or less depending upon your body type). From there, tighter definition (depending upon your goals) will only get more enhanced. This has been tried and true for me :)

Not really. Its harder to lose those last 2-3kgs, that's a fact, but to tone up - nope.
Just do it regularly and eat right and don't expect results within a week.
