Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat but it's more compact. Fat takes up more room because it's fluffy.

I don't think people really think muscle weighs more than fat, it is just a saying. Like raining cats and dogs, we don't really think it is raining cats and dogs, just raining a lot.

I am muscular myself and know I weigh a lot more than a "regular" person my height would, this is where the muscle weighs more than fat thing comes in.

Well I have been staying away from the scale for now, as it is an obsession for me. Good news is, my tight tight-can't sit down in jeans are slightly looser, and I measured myself, lost 1/2 inch in the hips which is my stubborn zone!!!!! So very glad I didn't give up!!!!

Hi everyone,

I started out fantastic and lost 8 lbs the first week. However, this past week I didn't lose any weight. So, I went back and reread the first few chapters in the book. Well, this is what I found out.....I was eating 20 grams of carbs total like I should've, but not 20 grams with 10 to 15 of veggie carbs. I'll see if this gets me jump started. Hopefully it will. I've been so proud of myself staying at 20 carbs, but now know I was doing it wrong.
