Most folks think cutting calories or hitting the gym is the way to go for weight loss. But the truth is, cutting calories can actually do more harm than good. It can weaken your immune system, give you brain fog, and make you a bear to be around (no joke!).
But don’t worry, there’s a better, healthier approach to weight loss. And the key to successful weight loss that most people miss is “lean body mass”. That’s the weight made up of your bones, muscles, and organs.
If you want to make it easy for your body to burn fat, you need more lean body mass. This is what will help you lose fat and keep it off in the long term.
So, how do we do that? It’s simple, really. We start by increasing muscle. By building muscle, you’ll increase your metabolism. Your metabolism is like a measure of how many calories your body uses when you’re just lounging around. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even when you’re not working out.
And here’s a fun fact: a pound of muscle burns three times as many calories (and fat) as a pound of fat!
Now, keep in mind that body fat percentage and lean body mass are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to weight loss. There are three more things to address, which we’ll cover in our next email with the subject line “3 reasons why you STILL may not be losing body weight.”
