    Losing fat is more about gaining muscle to increase base metabolism. Drinking protein shakes also causes a loss of visceral fat in the absence of any other changes

      It’s not “more about” gaining muscle. It’s purely about burning off more energy than you eat. Sure, that’s easier with more muscle, but it’s WAY easier to not eat 200+ calorie candy bars than it is burning 200 calories off, even with muscle.
