A member asked:
Is it possible to slim down without losing pounds? if so, how can i do this? will cardio do the trick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Muscle is heavier than fat. Thus, by increasing muscle mass but losing fat - one may be able to become slimmer without significant loss of weight. This would require appropriate nutrition and exercise.
