Resistance Training Study May Aid Weight Loss

Clearly wrong research alert!

Do not believe it for an instant.

It is a physical IMPOSSIBILITY for resistance training to result in weight loss.

Period.

Dear Dr. Michael,

If resistance training leads to the growth of muscle tissue that burns fat, and if the same volume of fat as muscle weighs less, then one should be gaining eight, but in the positive sense that the additional weight is in the form of muscle rather than fat.

Correct?

I have read that in general when fat is being burned through running, bikibg, swimming ... that one cannot target a specific part of the body from which the fat is being gradually reduced. however, is there any way to furrher reduce the fat on the hips, waist/core area even beyond that which i know biking does for me?

Dear Mr. Busch,

Yes. As far as we know, weight gained as muscle tissue is a good thing.

Muscle is a pathetic burner of Calories at rest relative to what the liars say. It burns less than 6 Calories per pound per day. Liars like Jorge Cruise, David Zinczenko, David Katz, Phil McGraw claim that muscle burns 50-100 Calories per day at rest.

This is impossible.

Go to drapplebaum.com and link to the FitnessMed Fitness Rants to find two CACAs about Jorge Cruise. All is explained there. Or do a Google search for Jorge Cruise and CACA.

As best we know, spot loss of fat is not possible. One way to conceptualize fat loss is removing a cup of water from the ocean. The remainder will fill in the "hole" you created and decrease slightly in volume and depth.

If you keep losing fat, it will eventually come off from those "hard to lose" places.

Good luck.

Michael
