How to prevent muscle loss when losing weight?!


Question: How to prevent muscle loss when losing weight?
I'm being more careful with what I eat, and as a result my calorie intake is very low. I don't want to eat any more than I have to, but don't want to lose muscle. If I run distance track and do crunches and pushups every night is that enough? Also, I'm vegetarian so I don't get a lot of protein.

The only way to minimize muscle loss when losing weight from cardio (running) is to increase your protein intake and strength train. There are many sources of protein for a vegetarian such as soy, nuts and hummus. If you are not vegan and consume dairy; eggs, cheese, milk and yogurt are great sources of protein as well.

Aerobic exercise should be done three to five times a week, and strength training should be done a minimum of three times each week if you are trying to retain or build muscle – especially if you are trying to prevent muscle loss from a low carb diet.



Low weight high rep stuff and eat healthy. Also try using a resistance band. But running a lot and sprints should help too.



High weight - low reps. I have been bodybuilding for 4 years now and that is truly the best way to do it. Old school > "get ripped quick" schemes

Here are the lists of foods I choose to achieve these three outcomes. This eating plan is not difficult to stick with at all, by the way. I enjoy eating like this and it feels almost weird not to eat like this after doing it for so long.

Remember, habits work in both directions, and as motivational speaker Jim Rohn has said, “Bad habits are easy to form and hard to live with and good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.”

These are listed in the order I frequently consume them. So for example, if oatmeal is on the top of the list, it means that is the food I am most likely to eat every single day.
