Realize this:  resistance exercises like weightlifting do not make your muscles larger or stronger. They actually break down your muscles.  It is the food you eat and your body's use of it following those exercises that repairs the muscles and improves them.  Exercise stresses and breaks down your muscles - - - a good diet feeds the muscles and builds them up.  The process of building those muscles is called metabolism.  That burns fat even when you're resting.  Eat well!
