Keeping Fit: Strength training pays off in more ways than one

Much less they do not understand that the loss of muscle is largely responsible for the gain of fat because of the reduction in resting metabolic rate. Even if you do not gain weight over the next decade you are likely to experience a 12-pound change in body composition (6 pounds less muscle and 6 pounds more fat) unless you are doing strength exercise. What about dieting?Cutting calories is clearly the fastest way to reduce body weight. However the weight loss is short-lived. According to a study published in the American Psychological Association’s research journal essentially everyone who loses weight though dieting regains all the weight within one year. The reason that diets don’t work is their adverse effect of resting metabolic rate. When fewer calories are consumed the body automatically reduces resting metabolism as a means of self-preservation.
