This is probably one of the greatest fitness myths that unfortunately still gets spouted today
When you step on the scales and you either haven't lost as much as you thought you would have or you have gained... and your trusty personal trainer turns to you and say
'It's probably muscle, as muscle weighs more than fat'
Now, I am not going to go down that road as we all know a 1lbs is a 1lb no matter what the material is
But let's look at muscle gain
If a women can gain 8-12lbs of muscle a year, then that is a fantastic year
I am not talking about women who are taking steroids, peptides or other hormone boosters
This are 100% natural
Following a diet that is focused on losing weight is a lot easier than following a diet that is focused on building muscle
Here is the secret...
Following a diet that is focused on burning fat and increasing lean muscle mass is another aspect again
You need to choose your goal
Do you want to just lose weight?
Or do you want to lose body fat, increase lean muscle mass and completely change your body shape
