I have been working a very labor intensive job for about 3 months now and have lost enough inches on my waist to go down two pants sizes yet my total weight when I go on the scale remains around the same. How is it possible that I lost 4 or 5 inches off my waist yet the scale doesn’t change? Is it possible what weight in fat I am loosing is made up for with an increase in muscle mass?
If your job is very intensive, then its quite possible your putting on muscle as well
Muscle is much denser than fat, too. So its possible to actually lose fat, but gain weight.
