Do we lose muscle when we lose weight?

You may have heard that with weight loss “diets” you use up your muscle tissue and that’s a bad thing?

It is indeed a bad thing!

When we have less muscle, our metabolic rates are slower, we are weaker, we have an increased risk of osteoporosis, and we are more susceptible to falls and injuries.

We want all the muscle we can get!

Intermittent fasting preserves muscle tissue. Want to know how that works?
