Tips for Losing Weight Fast - Burn the Fat or Eat the Muscle?

Recommended Answer:
Well... first off, I''ll attack the idea of "weight." A pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of lead. I think you''re talking about losing excess body fat, right?

While you''ll have the best luck losing body fat from altering your diet, you can certainly aid your efforts by adding resistance workouts into the mix. How much muscle mass you gain is a matter of intensity as well as genetics, but each pound of muscle you gain raises your resting metabolism so that you burn more calories throughout the day.

Keeping the intensity moderate (choosing a weight that allows for ten to twenty repetitions) will allow for the benefits of resistance training without running much of a risk of building excessive bulk, should it be your goal to reduce body fat and tone muscle tissue. The biggest tool is going to be your diet, however: Focus on eating a balanced diet; eat frequent, small meals; do not eat when simply bored; reduce or eliminate drinking your calories (sodas, sweetened tea, alcoholic drinks); try not to make treats a daily thing.
