💪 How do muscles prevent fat gain? 💪

To lose fat, you need to pay close attention to your diet in order to achieve a calorie deficit. 📉

But it's also possible to help or accentuate fat loss by building muscle! 🦾

In fact, every pound of muscle burns 3 times as many calories as a pound of fat🔥(see sources below).

So by building muscle you'll increase your resting metabolism! ❤️‍🔥

So you'll burn more calories without doing anything, which in turn will help you lose fat and prevent you from putting fat back on in the long term.🫃

And as well as increasing your metabolism, having more muscle has been shown in numerous scientific studies to help you live longer and in better health. 

🏃‍♀️And for women, don't worry, you'll need lots and lots of weight training before you look like a bodybuilder🏋️‍♀️, so don't hesitate to do more weight training 😉.
