Hi Maxcmatix, I am citing this study, because when I said that it is “possible”to gain “some muscle” on a deficit ( depending much on what you do or eat) I was said to shut up basically. “That is a myth”. Which I considered pretty rude, by the way. Well, it is possible. It turns out that the study shows that the myth is…

Thanks AnnTP77 Any open minded one interested in the subject can have a look to an study done on this topic. I post the address. You can even contact the University. The details are there.There are many studies like this one, but I am busy with other stuff. Each one must aim to be well informed before telling anyone to…

Thanks so much for your suggestion. Actually, I hadn’t thought about doing the math out of percentages, so I did . Turns out that still with the weight lost , I have gained 690gr of muscle. I know, there is the “not accurate issue of BIA devices”,but that’s the only thing most of us have available. And I still think, it is…

By the way, scales might not be perfect, but some can actually give u an idea of what you are doing. I have checked my weight and muscle mass daily, and it consistently gave me the same number for days, then would be a difference of +0.02% of muscle.keep the same for few days. Consistently same numbers, then a little…

Is amazing to see all explanations, and maybe they are all valid. Thanks for the explanations. I know most of you really think that I am a dreamer. But I have really improved my muscles mass, muscles have appeared where there use to be just skin. On my shoulder I just had a bone and skin. No friend would dare to take a nap…

Besides I took measurements, I can se muscles I didn’t see before, I can carry stuff I couldn’t lift before for a minute, I can perform some exercises much better than before, for example walking faster than ever before thanks to my improved…

Wow, we have a dictator here. I said maybe gained muscle. And you should do research. There are many cases of people, including me , that actually gained muscle on deficit. Specially when they were not used to exercise. Anyway, suggesting someone to check their muscle mass meanwhile losing weight is a very basic suggestion…

Hi. Have you checked your muscle mass? Maybe you have developed new muscles due to the exercise. A lot of people don’t realise but you can increase muscle in a déficit diet when passing from not exercising to exercise routine. I increased 3% muscle when a 1300 calorie diet in 4 months because I didn’t exercise before. I…

Hi. I totally understand what’s happening to you. I have been there. I had been on 1200 cal intake for years without dieting due to hectic stressful life and I was putting on weight !!! .How was that possible ? I thought. I checked my macros, and realised that most of my intake came from carbs, almost no fat, almost no…
