Can you loose weight but the scale reads the samr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No- but can get thin: By definition, if you lose weight the scale will show that you weigh less. However, it is possible to lose fat while increasing muscle mass. In this situation you will not necessarily lose weight, but since muscle is denser than fat you can lose fat, lose inches and look slimmer without actually losing any weight!
