It's 2025 and most people still think they need to burn as many calories as possible to lose weight.

So they jump on the treadmill for hours, 5 to 7 days a week.

Don't believe me?

Go over to the Reddit weight loss forums.

But that approach burns muscle along with fat, slowing your metabolism and making you hungrier.

Leaving you vulnerable to rebound weight gain.

Here’s a smarter way to move & train during weight loss efforts:

→ 2x per week resistance training to build (minimum preserve it) muscle.
→ Daily walking to burn fat without raising stress hormones.
→ Frequent movement breaks to keep insulin sensitivity high.

Build muscle.

Move consistently.

Preserve your metabolism.
