Does weight training help lose weight?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Muscle continues to burn fat even at rest so some weight training will lead to weight loss. However, you may have a slight gain initially due to increased muscle mass.

Absolutely!: And increasing muscle mass increases resting metabolism. Keep in mind, leanness is the goal!

Yes: Weight training increases your lean muscle mass. Lean muscle burns more calories even at rest. This will help you to stay at ideal body mass.
