So, Weights First. And Then? And Then, Protein.

“I always hate to talk in absolutes; because if you’re very obese, say a hundred pounds overweight, you can lose fat without losing muscle in a caloric deficit, because you have so much fat to lose that the body is gonna pull from the fat resources. But for people ‘just’ overweight, you will lose muscle if you do not resistance train. And I want to point out that even if you are lifting weights, if you’re getting insufficient protein, you’re gonna leach some muscle, so you still need to take in sufficient protein.”
