I may have lost absolute muscle mass, but glycogen is a bunch of that mass, and my muscles had none of that by day 60.
My feeling was something along the lines of -- sure I lost some muscle mass, but it was a small amount and relative to overall mass lost and the other health benefits of not being obese.
Also, subjectively, I feel like I lost little to no actual strength.
- lmilcin 5y agoI think part of this can be explained by lost mass in general as you no longer need to lug that fat around with you, making it easier to move around and generally feel better at least for a time before body accommodates.
- TimSchumann 5y agoTrue. I guess what I'm trying to get across is subjectively it felt like there was nothing but gains. To me quibbling over if 5% or 25% of overall mass lost was muscle is immaterial and completely outweighed by the benefits regardless of what that number is.
