Become lean and mean fat burning machine

More muscle you have, you will burn more fat. I am sure you heard that 100X. But why is that? I will give you some reasons:

Muscle is an active tissue. A pound of muscle burns 30 to 50 calories per day just to maintain itself. Add three pounds of muscle and burn 630 to 1,050 extra calories per week. A pound of fat only burns 3 calories per day. So you can see by lifting weights and gaining muscle you will burn more calories every day. Imagine if you gain 9 lbs of lean muscle, you will become fat burning machine and you will
be burning around 3150 extra calories per week.
That's why you should exercise if you are serious about burning body fat. Diet alone will not do the trick even if it comes from Hollywood.
