Adding More Muscle Isn't The Ideal Way To Lose Unwanted Fat

Why Do Experts Tell You to Gain Muscle if You Want to Lose Body Fat?
I am tired of hearing trainers tell their clients that they should focus on putting on more muscle if they want to burn fat quickly. This is a myth that has been popular for years. If this was true, then there would be many more lean people in the free-weight rooms in all of the gyms of the world.
Adding More Muscle to Your Frame is a VERY Roundabout Way to Lose Fat
The math simply doesn't work out...you burn an extra 12 calories per day for each pound of lean muscle that you gain. Let's say you gained 10 pounds of pure muscle (which would mean that you probably had to gain 10 pounds of weight). You would burn an extra 120 calories each day from that 10 pound muscle gain.
Want to Lose Fat MUCH Faster? Then Diet and Cardio is the Way to Go
A tough cardio workout can easily burn 600 calories. If you reduced you daily intake of calories by 600, then the total calorie deficit would be 1,200 calories...this is 10 times the calorie burning effect that a 10 pound muscle gain had.
Bulking up With a Bunch of Muscle is Not Attractive
Too much muscle makes a guy look kind of "cheesy". Women have been trying to tell guys for years that they prefer men to have average sized muscles, but with good muscle tone. Women never look good with a bunch off muscle. Those female bodybuilders look like men! Sorry to offend anyone, but that is a really bad look!
Gaining muscle for the sake of burning body fat is just plain backwards. Get lean quickly by sticking to cardio and lowering your calories!
