Gary Brecka explains why lifting weights matters for fat loss. Muscle is the biggest longevity marker, acts as a glucose sink to improve insulin sensitivity, and grip strength correlates with how long you live. The answer is simple: lift heavy.
What is the best way to lose fat without losing muscle? The single biggest marker for longevity is your muscles. So actually learn to be comfortable with weight training. Resistance training not only builds muscle, but it lowers your glycemic profile, helps your body become more sensitive to insulin. Your muscles are like a sponge for glucose. Also, frailty is one of the greatest risks in older ages. We know that grip strength is correlated to longevity. We know that thigh circumference is correlated to longevity. The simple sentence is, if you want to live a long time, lift heavy weight. Our muscles are a metabolic currency. So don't waste them, stimulate them and live a long time.
