You can use the time to learn the correct form for all the lifts. Definitely not wasted time and you also build the habit of going there.

Certainly not going to be a waste of time or money. Working the muscles depletes the glycogen stores in the muscles which then need to be replenished. As a result the insulin receptors on the surface of the muscle become more sensitive and you can enjoy the results of restored insulin sensitivity which are mostly less fat storage. Best advantage will come from doing weights slowly to safe failure - then you're sure you really tap into the glucose stores in your muscles.

What other excuses you have for not lifting? Full moon coming up...can't lift that day for sure. Oh and it's gonna be an El Nino winter.....damn sure can't lift during that.

Why wouldn't you train while on a diet?? That's how you get skinny fat while dieting.

Fat converts to muscle.

The gym will not accellerate weight loss much however it will convert fat in to muscle and will firm and trim you faster than diet alone. In most cases you will start to gain weight while going to the gym but lose inches if you have excess fat.

The calories burned in the gym are only half the equation. You burn more calories repairing and strengthening the tissues during the off time after the gym. So while the gym itself doesn't burn that many calories directly, indirectly it will help trim you up.

Unless you are doing LIET or LIIT training (low intensity exended/interval training) things like walking on a treadmill or jogging are not very effective in weight loss. You can get some results from HIIT training (High Intensity Interval Traning) which are things like wind sprints or using a bike like the video linked.

It is much easier to build muscle while fat that it is to start skinny and pack on weight in the form of fat and muscle.
