Is it true that building musceles , helps losing weight?!

YES. Metabolically speaking, muscles burn more calories at rest than fat cells. You WANT to gain as much muscle mass as you can, and if you are female and scared of looking like a man, don't worry because that is a huge MYTH. You don't have the testosterone levels to achieve that. So pick up those weights and start toning. Not only will you shrink, but the lbs will come off faster, you'll lose faster, and look better. Muscle tone is very sexy.

ETA: Do not let the person below me discourage you. Yes, if you gain muscle the scale will go up, but your body will SHRINK, and that's what matter. Building muscles causes you to lose fat and look lean and trim.Health Question & Answer

Yes... Lean muscle that you tone, or build, helps you burn more calories over the course of the day, as opposed to not having them. Now, does that mean you shouldn't exercise or eat a healthy diet.? No, you should be doing that! If you can do that, you'll build that lean muscle and wind up finding it easier to lose weight. :-)Health Question & Answer
