The Importance of Building Muscle for Weight Loss
The key to successful weight loss is to send the right signals to the body by eating a little bit more to fuel what you're about to do and send a signal to build muscle. Building muscle can result in getting leaner even if the scale doesn't show a change, as gaining muscle and losing body fat can balance out the weight. Additionally, muscle takes up less space than body fat, so trading pound for pound results in getting smaller and leaner. Therefore, the appearance of a person with the same body weight but different body fat percentages can vary significantly.
