They both weigh 75 kilos and are 24% body fat to begin with (57 kilos of lean mass and 18 kilos of body fat)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The only difference?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Twin A goes running and burns 500 calories per session⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Twin B lifts weights and burns 300 calories per session⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
12 weeks later, what happened?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Twin A (the runner)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weight - Down by 7kg to 68kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Muscle Mass - Down by 3kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fat Mass - Down by 4kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New Body Fat % = 20.5⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, she's still not happy she looks, as her bum is flat and she still has some stubborn belly fat she can't seem to shift⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about twin B who only did weight training?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weight - Down 5kg to 70kg (2kg less than her sister)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Muscle Mass - UP 2kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fat Mass - Down 7kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New Body Fat % = 15%⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though she's lost less weight than her sister, she's ecstatic with her results! For the first time in her life she can see the outline of her abs and all her friends are asking how she got so toned⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her fat mass has dropped by 7kg even though her weight only dropped by 5kg. How is this possible?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because she also GAINED 2kg MUSCLE! If you lost 5kg of WEIGHT but gain 2kg of muscle then your FAT mass has actually dropped 7kg!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why did twin B get better results than Twin A?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it's not about burning calories, but instead it's about how your body partitions the calories that you eat.
