Basically, you jump start your metabolism. As always, the way you lose weight is through your eating lifestyle, note that while you lift weights, your appetite will increase. All in moderation. So careful not to increase your food intake.

Also, note that you may not see a reduction in weight, and instead you might possibly gain weight for some time. Muscle weighs more than fat. As long as you aren’t eating too much, and its not junk food, you’re good. Weight gain through exercise is good initially.

Always check with your doctor.
