Consuming a high-protein diet and engaging in resistance training can nearly eliminate muscle mass loss during weight loss.

“if you do not lift weights, even if you just do cardio, you will lose muscle as you're losing body fat. And depending upon how you're going about it, evidence shows 25% to 30% of the weight loss will come from muscle.”

“it is in my humble opinion fundamental to uh combine resistance training at the very least with an energy deficit through uh nutritional restriction to promote weight loss”

“when you eat a higher protein calorie restricted diet more weight loss comes from fat mass than muscle mass but remember resistance training is also important to prevent the loss of lean mass”
