Combine it with healthy fats and healthy carbs.
Muscle loss is unavoidable. But you can't use it as an excuse to not lose weight. You just try to minimize it by having a balanced diet and performing some basic exercises.
- AstralStorm 10y agoAnother platitude of a "balanced" diet. Not even dieteticians know what that means for purposes of weight loss. Muscle loss is a major problem for people who fail diets and bounce back. Muscle once lost is very hard to regain. Lack thereof will also reduce energy output making further attempts harder. Even a vegan or near vegan diet easily exceeds required caloric intake for weight loss. Going for healthy foods is no good if caloric input is too high. Protein has a star quality in that it suppresses hunger directly. The trouble is finding sources not also laden in fat and also making it palatable. What you need is a highly unbalanced diet, but one that will not damage your health. It is very tricky to set up.
