Exercise is so good for so many things except fat loss, which everyone thinks it's good for.

Did you mean weight loss instead of fat loss perhaps?

By "fat," most people mean subcutaneous adipose tissue, and isn't that the weight we seek most to lose? To what other fat might they refer? Intracranial lipomas?

Resistance training is fine for fat loss, at least up to some level (single digit numbers usually need more). It's just that muscles are heavier but muscles consume more energy (colloquially said).

That's why I thought that perhaps it was weight loss as in scale measurement that might be the concern.
