*2.   Weight loss and weight training*

We chose to list this separately from the "exercise" category because of the
significant weight loss benefits attached to weight
training<http://www.thedietchannel.com/Weight-Training-for-Beginners.htm>in
and of itself. The basic equation is this: the more muscle tissue you
have, the more calories<http://www.thedietchannel.com/what-are-your-calorie-needs>you
will burn. This is why world class weight lifters must eat thousands
of
calories a day to maintain their weight. Muscle is active tissue, fat is
not. Thus, muscle "burns" a significant number of calories each day for its
own maintenance. In her book *Strong Women Stay
Slim<http://www.thedietchannel.com/bookstrongslim.htm>
*, Miriam Nelson, a Tufts University researcher, showed that a group of
women who followed a weight loss
diet<http://www.thedietchannel.com/weightloss.htm#>
*and* did weight training exercises lost 44% more fat than those who only
followed the diet. While aerobic
activity<http://www.thedietchannel.com/Fitness-Equipment.htm>can help
burn calories, muscle's where it's at when it comes to giving your
metabolism a significant daily boost even at rest.
