In this podcast, Drs. Baraki and Feigenbaum discuss training during weight loss. While increased exercise can support health, dietary restriction is the primary method for weight loss. They note that strength, muscle mass, and endurance can be maintained during modest calorie deficits, with studies showing significant gains even in large deficits in trained individuals. It was also noted that the size of the energy deficit matters, with small deficits having minimal effects and larger, sustained deficits being detrimental. Practical recommendations include meeting physical activity guidelines, maintaining protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day, and a moderate calorie deficit of 250-500 calories per day.
