A common pitfall of just focusing on losing weight (especially via restrictive diets) is losing significant muscle.

When we lose muscle, we lose strength, and our metabolism drops. Less muscle means we burn less calories, and are more likely to regain weight (plus a bit extra) if we end a diet and return to normal eating.

Why is muscle so important for women?

Instead, it will improve our strength, health, and quality of life, increase our metabolism, help us ‘tone up’, and make fat loss easier.

So how do we build muscle?

Two key principles: protein and strength training.
