Many people don't know that weight/strength training plays an enormous role in weight loss; It helps you burn body fat! Your muscle is biologically active, unlike your fat, which just sits there. This means muscle requires energy in the form of calories to function. Adding a few pounds of muscles to your frame will elevate your metabolism. This will help you burn unwanted body fat faster. In addition, the extra muscle will help you maintain your fat loss.
Strength training also produces something called the "after burn" which is the sustained elevation of your metabolism after you stop exercising. While cardio speeds up your metabolism while you perform the exercise, it will quickly drop back to its resting level after about 30 minutes. On the other hand, strength training may help your metabolism running on high for 18 to 24 hours. Just think of how many extra calories you'll burn!
ALSO, PLEASE EAT SMALLER MEALS AND MORE OFTEN!
