Doing weights is actually better for weight loss than jogging. Lifting weights burns calories whilst you do it, and also a long time after because the body uses up tons of energy repairing muscles. So do weights, and an hour later, sat on the sofa, you'll still be burning calories.

Plenty of Water is great and Green Tea.

Cook everything you can with Coconut Oil. Even eat it raw out of the tub. It's a super food. All kinds of Berries, Fish, Veg, Lean Meat, Nuts all brilliant.

All this stuff improves your skin, teeth, hair, movement, energy levels and your mental health.

Then after all that have a day/meal every week with any rubbish you like

Muscle burns fat, yes. If you want to lose weight quickly, safely and steadily then then the ‘epoc’ Effect, which as you mention is the continuation of burning calories post workout then you want to do HITT training. High intensity interval training.

High intensity cardio will burn mor3 calories than weight training and you will raise your heart rate quicker. Combine it with weight training. Just doing general jogging will not raise your heart rate enough in comparison. The epoc effect is so much less greater....however, any moving is good.

Good advice though.
