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
