Robert > Any time you're losing weight (aside from water weight), you're
losing both muscle and fat.
I don't believe that is true. Imagine the extreme: fasting. For a
period after stored carbs are used -- don't remember the exact timeline
but I think it's after a couple of days -- the body will briefly switch
to gluconeogenesis to try to generate some glucose. This muscle
wasting is brief and the burning of fat stores begins. After fat
stores are used -- about a month or so -- the body then goes back and
starts to burn muscle.
There's no issue with losing muscle weight. Heck, with the quality of
my workouts of late, I believe I'm even *gaining* some muscle right
now.
