Building Muscle for Sustained Fat Loss
To reduce body fat effectively, creating an energy imbalance by burning more calories than consumed is crucial. Building muscle aids in sustainable fat loss by boosting metabolism. Focusing solely on calorie restriction and excessive cardio can lead to muscle loss and a plateau in weight loss. By strength training, one can enhance muscle growth, which in turn increases calorie burning capacity. Muscle is denser than fat, hence losing fat and gaining muscle can make one smaller without a change in weight. Muscle building is an adaptive process, similar to skin darkening in response to UV rays. By consistently challenging the body through weight training, it adapts by getting stronger over time, enabling one to work out more intensely while maintaining muscle mass for long-term fat loss success.
