The study explores the relationship between weight loss and muscle loss.
The study aimed to model the relationship between skeletal muscle and total body mass and then put the model to the test using data from weight loss studies. The results indicated that males could expect to lose about 20-25% of their weight as muscle, while females could expect to lose about 10-15%.
The study highlights the need to consider individual factors when predicting muscle loss during weight loss.
While the study provides a more nuanced understanding of muscle loss during weight loss, it is important to consider individual factors such as resistance training, protein intake, training status, starting body fat, and desired level of leanness. These factors can greatly impact the amount of muscle loss experienced.
The study challenges the commonly used heuristic of losing 20-25% of weight as fat free mass.
While the study supports the rough estimate of losing 20-25% of weight as muscle for males, it highlights the limitations of solely relying on this heuristic. The presence of resistance training, protein intake, and other individual factors can significantly influence the ratio of muscle loss during weight loss.
The study emphasizes the importance of resistance training and adequate protein intake in minimizing muscle loss during weight loss.
The study serves as a reminder that incorporating resistance training and consuming sufficient protein can significantly impact the ratio of muscle loss during weight loss. These factors should be prioritized when aiming to preserve muscle mass during a weight loss phase.
The good Doctors Eric are still figuring out how to start episodes without Omar, and let’s just say it’s off to a rough start. But to their credit, they went on to deliver a monster episode even if Omar wasn’t there to officially dub it so. In this conversation, Dr. Helms recaps the amazing battles and historic performances that took place at WNBF Worlds on Nov 18-19, where he participated as both a coach and athlete. Then, Dr. Trexler and he cover a couple of relevant and interesting research papers, the first, covered by Dr. Helms explores the “whys” underlying the motivations competitive bodybuilders have to live the life they lead. The second, covered by Dr. Trexler, explores the often-repeated claim that when you diet, you’ll lose ~25% of your weight as lean mass. Is this true? And if it is, for whom and in what circumstances?
