A member asked:
Can you lose weight by just doing strength training and eating maintenance calories?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. : If by 'maintenance' you are referring to the amount of calories that would result in no change in body fat and no additional exercise: Yes! The weight training will help with loss of fat and improve your muscle tone at rest, increase your strength, and boost your basal metabolic rate. Go for it!
