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.
now this is me just completely speculating because there's so little data on this because studies are just so restrictive in terms of what you can actually measure and i think that this is this is another point that people don't fully appreciate is that you know scientific studies are really big blunt instruments like you you you can you are really if you're doing a scientific study you're only supposed to modify a couple of variables if that because otherwise you just have no idea if what you're observing is due to the the variables that you want to test — um otherwise you might as well just go to observational data and so they're just when it comes to this kind of stuff there's so little data out there and and so this kind of is pulling from my opinions based on some randomized control trials i've seen some case studies i've seen and some mechanistic data some animal data you know and i'm i always like to tell people when i'm when i'm kind of going out the limb because i don't want to state it as fact if i if i'm not sure if it's fact but i would say that you know the differences we see in how much people can retain with lean body mass i think part of it's due to what their natural body fat set point level is because as we exit that lower end of our body fat set point if the body likes to keep a certain level of body fat then it makes sense that it might start pulling a little bit more energy from lean tissue compared to fat tissue if it's starting to defend that body fat now there are quite a few things we can do to overcome this like resistance training right like that's a big one

they all work way better with resistance training because you're creating the need for the tissue
