This week I discuss a  paper titled - Beyond Appetite Regulation, Targeting Energy Expenditure, Fat Oxidation and Lean Mass Preservation for Sustainable Weight Loss. This paper is relevant because a lot of people try extreme dieting to lose weight for a wedding or an upcoming event and they regain all of the weight that they lost, and then their metabolic rate is suppressed for years upon end. Yo-yo dieting can lead you to be skinnier and skinnier, have less and less lean mass, more and more fat. Your body composition shifts. It turns out that about 30% of the weight that's lost when you diet and do excessive amounts of cardio comes from muscle tissue, but not just muscle. Your heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas actually decrease in size, which impacts your resting metabolic rate. This paper highlights the fact that we want to preserve lean muscle mass by focusing on resistance training and prioritizing protein.Study:Christoffersen, B.
