But weight loss maintenance really is the issue.

So the better you get at weight loss maintenance, then the more you can win the game.

All right.

So in order to properly maintain, you have to properly get there.

So properly getting there means that you have to do your best to maintain your lean body mass while you're losing body fat.

So what happens to a lot of people when they diet is they lose a lot of lean body mass along with... Lean body mass, you mean muscle?

Yes, muscle mass.

Muscle mass.

Along with their fat mass.

And so muscle tissue is something very important to keep on the body while you're losing fat.

Because muscle is, we can look at it as our metabolically active.

Every tissue is metabolically active, even body fat.

But muscle tissue specifically is the center of our dietary fuel usage.

It is the metabolic engine of the body, if you will.

And so if you're losing muscle tissue,

You're really losing metabolic leverage while you're losing body fat.

That's a great analogy.

And it's accurate too.

And in fact, there is a phenomenon that in the literature, it's called collateral fattening.

And that happens when the body senses an energy crisis at the end of a diet where you've lost a bunch of muscle mass.
