TL;DR Summary

A recent study published in The Lancet explored the effects of wearing weighted vests on body fat reduction. Researchers found that participants with mild obesity who wore 11kg weighted vests for eight hours daily over three weeks lost an average of 2.9 lbs, primarily from fat, without losing muscle mass. This suggests that heavier loads can increase energy expenditure and aid in weight and fat loss. The study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating weighted vests or rucksacks into daily activities or exercise routines to enhance fat loss.
