This is so wrong it hurts. Your body cannot synthesize muscle from fat.
Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?
adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 days agoDaily exercise only counts if it’s cardio and not muscle building. Otherwise the fat gets converted to muscle, which weighs more than fat.
Of course, weight loss shouldn’t ever be considered the end goal, and building muscle and having your weight go up/stay the same is perfectly fine to become healthier.

That’s entirely wrong because there’s no way you can gain muscle mass as fast as you can lose fat.
A person can easily lose a pound of fat a weak and will have a difficult time, unless on PEDs, to gain a pound of muscle mass in the same time.

So yes, muscle building aka hypertrophy via lifting weights will absolutely make you lose fat. In fact the heavier you lift the more fat your body will use in order to do work. Which will make you lose weight even faster.
