if you do one uh two twice a week a resistance training session even in a caloric deficit you don't lose muscle mass so you can prevent the muscle mass with simply two sessions of resistance type exercise a week

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

Brad discusses the importance of resistance training in an energy deficit to PREVENT up to 25-30% of weight loss from muscle catabolism.
Hitting the weights at least twice a week is vital. It stimulates muscle growth and helps prevent any loss of muscle and lean mass, even when you're in a calorie deficit.
it is, in my humble opinion, fundamental to combine resistance training at the very least with an energy deficit through nutritional restriction to promote weight loss.
