Fat Loss and Weightlifting
Smartest Way to Lose Fat — and Keep It Off
The Truth About Fat Loss
Fat loss is NOT about burning the most calories in a single workout. It’s about burning more calories while you’re NOT working out. This comes from improving how your body uses calories and preserving muscle — creating results that actually LAST long-term.
Why Cardio Alone Backfires
While cardio can burn calories, relying on it alone often leads to muscle loss, plateaus, and weight regain. Less muscle means a slower metabolism, making fat loss harder over time.
Why Weightlifting Works for Fat Loss
Increases the amount of calories you burn every day without exercise
Allows you to be more flexible with food
Preserves muscle while eating in a calorie deficit so weight lost comes from fat, not muscle
Improves insulin sensitivity and hormone balance
More muscle = results are easier to maintain long-term
