If you’ve ever felt like your fat loss progress is frustratingly slow— You’re not alone. And here’s something most people don’t realize:

Muscle isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s metabolically active.  That means the more lean muscle you have, the more calories your body burns… even at rest. Literally while you sleep, work, or chill on the couch.

So if your go-to strategy has been:
🚴‍♀️ More cardio
🍽️ Fewer calories
🙅‍♀️ Skipping meals to “save” for later…

That might actually be slowing your metabolism down over time.

Here’s what works better:

1. Start lifting weights (even 2x/week can make a difference)
Resistance training stimulates muscle growth and improves insulin sensitivity, both of which help with body composition and long-term fat loss.

2. Eat enough—especially protein
Under-eating (especially for women) leads to muscle loss, energy crashes, and stalled progress.
Fueling your body properly is key to building that calorie-burning engine.

3. Be consistent—not extreme
Muscle takes time to build, but the payoff is massive: a stronger body, better energy, fewer cravings, and yes—easier fat loss.

Bottom line:
Muscle is the engine that drives your metabolism.
The more you build, the better your body burns.
This isn’t about bulking up—it’s about building a body that works for you, not against you.
