😬 Have you ever been told this?? Sorry to bring the bad news but if you’re not losing weight, this almost certainly isn’t the reason.

📉 In a calorie deficit, fat can be lost fairly quickly. 1-2lbs a week would be very doable.

💪 On the flipside, muscle takes a LONG time to build. You’d be lucky to gain 1-2lb a muscle in a MONTH if you were eating in a surplus and training hard.

❌ So the chances that the scale has stopped going down, because you’re gaining enough muscle to counter your fat loss… are pretty slim.

You defo do still want to work on maintaining and building lean muscle mass, even in a fat loss phase. This will boost your metabolism and help keep the weight off once you’re done.

But set realistic expectations - and know that if the scale isn’t going down its time to examine your calorie intake and activity level, rather than assuming you’re gaining tons of muscle 😉
