    I lost mine when I was sick a few years ago and couldn't eat for 2 weeks. I probably lost muscle, because I was already light, but I never knew that my normally round and muscular glutes could recede so quickly.

    Did you gain it back though?

    It's definitely back. I weighed less at that point than I do now, and I don't know if I would be able to keep my butt if I worked out while getting back to that weight. It's one of the reasons that I decided that my current weight is my ideal weight.

    Nothing is going to get bigger when you're in a calorie deficit, including your butt...regardless of what exercise you do. You are not anabolic when in a calorie deficit...
