  > you lose that muscle because you're also losing the fat you needed the extra muscle for That may be part of the cause, but it's also true that whenever you lose weight, you always lose some muscle. Even bodybuilders who are following the most aggressive protocol to minimize muscle loss (extremely high protein intake compared to other macros, along with intense strength training) will experience some amount of muscle loss along with fat loss when slimming down for competition.
