When we put this picture up earlier, we forgot to highlight the most important part — she is heavier after she slimmed down! Most people just do not understand this — fat takes up more volume than muscle. When you exercise properly and emphasize lean tissue gain, your fat percentage goes down and the amount of muscle you have goes up. You look better but you are also stronger than before.
This means that your scale may be lying to you! Just because your weight is going up doesn’t mean you’re getting fat! And for all of you that just want to be thin, just having the scale go down can be a very bad thing! Losing muscle can make your weight go down and that can cause a lot of hard to solve problems like having your metabolism crash.
