How do I build muscle and lose weight at the same time?
A reader asks…
Hello. I’m 6’3 and I weigh 198 pounds. I have a little bit of a gut and thin arms. I’ve started lifting weights and drinking protein shakes to build muscle.
How can I effectively build up my arms and legs, but at the same time lose the weight around my mid-section?
Don’t the protein shakes make me gain weight?
I also do two days of hard cardio and I work my abs hard during my lifting sections.
Anyone have a good plan to build muscle and lose a little weight at the same time?

The fastest way to lose weight is to build muscle. You mention you want to lose around your waist. Unfortunately, weight loss doesn’t work like that. You can’t spot reduce. Only the body decides where the fat will come off. However, the first place you will notice it just happens to be around your belly. How can you tell? You pants will not be as tight.
