Can you build muscle to burn fat?

Can you build muscle to burn fat?

I am now being helped by an ex body builder. She says that I can build muscle to burn fat and I shouldn’t worry about what I eat because we work it off. Due to having found out I have scoliosis, we cannot do it as vigorously because it hurts.
I have mixed feelings about what she says and am unsure if what she is doing is working. It has been a month and I feel no different, other than bigger….does this really work? Should I add a cardio? Help.

  1. First
    "you need to lose fat to build muscle.
    its easier to do allot of cardio to burn off the fat
    and do some weight training to build the muscle
    because if you start building muscle under the fat you might end up looking squarish"

    You DO NOT need to lose fat to build muscle. Do not listen to this person…they have no idea…

    Think of your body as a car. A big muscle 300lb guy is a "hummer" whatever he does he requires alot of food (gas for the hummer). He needs alot of it to keep that massive body going. The more muscle you have, the more fuel your going to need. Especially when your doing a hard workout, your muscles are burning at full force.

    You CAN build muscle to burn fat. Although YOU DO need to watch what you eat, lean meats, good carbs, good fats…(fats and carbs wont make you fat, dont get sucked into that)
    But as basic as it gets, if you want to lose fat, burn more calories than you take it…

  2. ok well oppose to what every body else is telling you which is kinda off the mark in the long run it does burn calories every pound off lean muscle you have burns an extra 30 calories at rest an hour so say you sleep 8 hours you will burn an extra 240 calories while you sleep with one pound of lean muscle
  3. you need to lose fat to build muscle.
