Gain Muscle & Lose Fat - Research Proven

Now about that "research proven"...

Listen, I've been having this argument with scientists since 1998...

...but I KNOW that you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

Let's look at the research that scientists have done themselves that prove I am RIGHT...and that YOU can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time with 3 workouts per week.

Study #1 - Men Gained 9.5lbs of Muscle While Losing 16.3lbs of Fat

Overweight men put on a 14-week program of resistance training and endurance training - while only training 3 days per week achieved incredible results.

Of course, the more fat and less muscle you have, the greater your ability to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

No one denies that, but no one can deny these scientific studies, either.

Study #2 - Women CAN do it too!

In this study, young women were assigned to one of two groups:

a) Resistance training plus a carbohydrate drink
b) Resistance training plus one liter of milk per day (yeah, I know!)

The results:
 
The carbohydrate group gained 2.4 pounds of lean mass and lost 0.67 pounds of fat, while the milk group gained 4.2 pounds of lean mass and lost 3.5 pounds of fat.

The researchers concluded, "Heavy, whole-body resistance exercise with the consumption of milk versus carbohydrate in the early post-exercise period resulted in greater muscle mass accretion, strength gains, fat mass loss, and a possible reduction in bone turnover in women after 12 wks."

Study #3 - You can gain muscle and lose fat at ANY age.

Researchers from Purdue University showed men and women (with an average age of 61 - with one subject 80 years old!) were able to lose fat, gain muscle, get stronger, lower LDL cholesterol, and improve blood sugar control with a simple strength workout routine.

36 healthy men and women did strength training three times per week for 12 weeks, doing 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions.

By the end, the subjects gained an average of four pounds of lean mass and lost over four pounds of fat. This study show's it is possible to gain muscle and lose at the same time - at any age.

So there you go.

Three studies that prove you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.
