I am talking about having more muscle mass- not the act of burning calories while doing weight training exercises.

I have read conflicting studies on the subject so any links or expert opinions would be helpful.

WHY do certain people on here INSIST that low intensity exercise is better for fat loss?

Dr. Angelo Tremblay’s study showed high intensity is great. The “9 times more fat loss thing ” is exaggerated and did NOT happen, but HIIT is still good.

I guarantee you lift weight hard for 45 minutes you WILL burn A LOT of calories and lose weight.

So WHY do CERTAIN people on here claim this?
