Yeah, it's my understanding you have muscle loss no matter where you start.

The absolute poundage may be different, but the percentage is similar.

If we want to minimize muscle loss during the period when we're calorie restricting, then

we need to feed ourself enough protein so that we have the protein building blocks to maintain our muscle mass.

We should also be lifting to try to build muscle that we feed with the protein as we calorie restrict.

Because for instance, you can eat a lot of protein on a 1500 calorie meal plan, right?

If your maintenance is 1,800 calories and you're trying to restrict by 300, you can still eat a lot of protein within that number of calories.

You have to choose.

You have to eat lean meats and lean sources, but it's completely possible.

What you see on the outside is not what's going on on the inside.

And I'm going to give you two examples on opposite sides of the spectrum.

So a number of years ago, I was invited to go to Fashion Week in New York.

And I had never gone, and it was amazing, and I was a little out of my element.

But I looked around me at all these willowy women, like they were as thin as could possibly be in wearing these clothes.

But there was very little evidence.

At the time, I mean, now models are different body shapes.

At the time, I did not see any muscle definition.

And we know there exists a phenomenon called skinny fat, right?

meaning you look skinny, you may weigh 100 pounds, but if you do body composition, you have very low lean muscle mass.

So that's on one end of the spectrum.
