It burns calories now, will burn calories in the next 12-36 hours, and will burn forever. One gram of muscle you build will burn calories every day until you die, as long as you persist. It's like receiving a check every week

This is the dividend of the metabolic world.

What constitutes your metabolism is mainly your basal metabolic rate. This is the energy needed to maintain lighting-mainly your brain, liver, kidneys and heart.

They are greedy bastards, aren't they?

All these are10-20 times more energy than when the muscles are resting.

If muscles can't burn so many calories, why lift weights?

Sitting there will still burn some heat. Because your muscle mass, even without training, is much larger than your heart (300g) or liver (1500g). Generally speaking, it burns more heat than these.

It will make you more sensitive to insulin-people with muscles are more tolerant of carbohydrates than people without muscles, especially after exercise. This is called "glucose therapy", just like glucose is some kind of garbage.

There are two ways to lose weight:

First, diet control. By cutting off oil for more than a week, you can naturally consume the oil in the intestines and reduce the body's intake of oil. This method will obviously lose some fat, but the process is more painful. Some people say that the normal diet will rebound obviously after cutting off oil, which varies from person to person;

The second is to do aerobic exercise. There are many options for this particular exercise. If you can ensure the best exercise time and intensity, but step by step and persevere, it will be effective. Note that exercise ensures physical consumption, but we should also pay attention to diet. Don't eat McDonald's, a fast food with too high energy, and don't eat half-sugar and half-fat dishes such as braised pork and sweet and sour tenderloin. The overall diet is as light as possible, the meat can be eaten, and the overall guarantee is less oil and less salt.
