Lose Fat by Building Muscle-How Does it Work

[Susie Williams]

Initially, let's expose one fantasy of some body-builders: to lose fat, building muscle is all you require. By not changing eating habits or cardio activity, an individual trying to lose fat will only see minimal losses by building muscle. It is true, however, that building lean muscle will yield other ways of helping to lose fat, by itself don't expect significant amounts of help.

To examine this further, you will find claims that every pound of resting lean muscle burns 50 calories a day. Sorry, but that number is way overstated. Resting muscle is like an idling car; it burns some fuel, but not a great deal. Doing nothing, those muscle tissues burn roughly 13 calories a day.
