> at rest Who said anything about resting? I'm talking about exercise. The more you exercise, the more muscle you build, which makes you spend more energy while exercising. Do you have any idea how much bodybuilders eat, without gaining any significant fat? > The only way to lose fat is to change your diet. False. You can lose fat by exercising, without changing your diet whatsoever.

> Who said anything about resting? I'm talking about exercise. The more you exercise, the more muscle you build, which makes you spend more energy while exercising. Again muscle vs fat don't change significantly that quantity of calories burned, unless you have some citations. > False. You can lose fat by exercising, without changing your diet whatsoever. Not in any practical sense. Most folks don't have the time to run a five-miler for each muffin they eat in a given day. This advice is just not useful. It's technically correct but totally unhelpful. It's basically the tautology: 'once you've lost weight you've lost weight.'

  > unless you have some citations Why would I need citations for simple physics equation? A person with stronger muscles will lift more weight more times than a person with weaker muscles. Since more energy is needed to lift more weight, more energy will be expanded. Can you point out the mistake in my reasoning, please? > Most folks don't have the time to run a five-miler for each muffin they eat in a given day. You are completely missing my argument. I am not saying that your average Joe can spend all the energy he eats through running. I am saying that your average Joe can start going to the gym, develop muscles, and eventually gain enough muscles to be able to expand as much energy as he eats. At that point, he will start losing weight, even if he's eating the same amount of food that he was eating before developing muscles. > It's technically correct but totally unhelpful That's totally your opinion, unless you have some citations.
