I'm skeptical. I remember Jimmy Moore getting bod pod tests done clearly showing he was losing fat and gaining muscle. I think the lifter-bros dive down deep holes and spot a lot of science-y sounding BS so I tend to take anything they say with giant grains of salt. My advice is: If it makes you feel better and stronger, do it but don't be insane about it.

Now losing weight is another issue. Weight is bone, muscle, water, fat, poop, everything. Fat is just one component of weight loss, right?

So if you're getting stronger and fitter, can do more reps or last longer on a walk, how is that not a win even if you can't visibly see more muscle?

If you don't lose "weight" when exercising, but your clothes are getting loose, then seems like another win too.

I just advise being moderate with exercise. Don't become a hamster on a wheel because that can actually depress your metabolism.
