Question: Is it possible to lose fat and weight while gaining muscle? Answer: It is actually very possible to gain muscle while losing fat in a weight loss situation. Scientists from University of Connecticut conducted a 12-week weight loss study where men either consumed a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet while they weight trained 3 days per week. During this time, several of the men following the low-carbohydrate diet gained muscle and lost fat while decreasing their body weight, as seen by DEXA evaluations (the gold standard of body composition evaluation). The key thing to losing fat and increasing body muscle while losing weight, is that you must add resistance-training exercise to maintain and build muscle. Then you have to eat a diet rich in complete proteins, healthy essential fats, and fibrous carbohydrates, so that you’re providing your body with the building blocks for muscle and the energy to burn fat. You can still look good and look even better while losing weight, but your diet and type of training must be right for your body.
