If you’ve successfully lost that excess weight that you’ve been working so hard on losing, congratulations! You’ve gone through that arduous process and you have survived to be your healthier self.

But after losing all that weight, now comes what? Maintaining that.

But for people who have been exposed to this experience, we all know losing weight is hard, but keeping it off is another level of struggle!

Understanding the physiology is critical to understanding not only why it’s so hard to keep the weight off but also to motivate us to practice behaviors that will help us maintain a healthy weight
Discover small and actionable tips that can help you maintain a healthy weight
Recognize the importance of having compassion and understanding towards oneself and the process, for maintaining weight is not a destination but a process

“Build that muscle. Build your resilience towards your limitations, towards feeling disappointed, and being able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and persevere in the effort of healthy weight maintenance.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Today’s Health Bite:

Eat a balanced diet, starting with consuming higher levels of protein
Don’t skimp on your veggies. Eat as much, as often, and as many colors as you can

Incorporate physical activity in your diet. Exercise
Practice self-monitoring. Find a self-monitoring tool that suits you
Get back on the wagon. Managing weight is a process, not a destination

127. Ensuring The Best Ratio Of Muscle To Fat: Exploring Weight Loss Drugs, Strategies, and Body Composition

Leave Health Bite a Feedback.Click This Link.

Losing weight is a common goal, but what happens when we lose muscle in the process?

When losing weight, what we want to happen is that we lose weight from fats. However, at some point, we also go through some muscle loss in the process. That can be so frustrating, and even discouraging, more so with the tons of fad diets circulating online.

But here at Health Bite, we don't want you to fall into those traps. We care about your well-being. We care about your success.

So join us on this week's podcast as we dive into a discussion on the best strategies for weight loss without losing your muscle. Learn why fad diets can cause more harm than good. Adjust your habits for the best outcome you can truly enjoy!

What you'll learn from this episode

Exploring strategies for achieving optimal body composition: Weight loss drugs, strategies, and muscle-to-fat ratios
Analysis of weight loss drug's effect on body composition and weight loss
The benefits of exercise during weight loss: Preserving muscle mass while losing fat
Preserving muscle mass while losing weight: Diet and movement as supplement

"No matter how you choose to lose weight—medications or not, be mindful of your diet and engage in movement. Stay clear of fad diets that can cause more harm than good, and remember that merely losing weight—merely shifting the numbers on the scale without intention towards losing the right kind of weight—is the wrong trick."

Dr. Adrienne Youdim

Today's Health Bite:

All weight loss strategies result in some loss of muscle, and the more weight one loses, the more muscle is lost as a percentage of that weight loss. This can lead to a lower metabolism
The diet consumed while losing weight plays a significant role in the degree of muscle loss. Studies have shown that a low-protein diet is not ideal for maintaining muscle mass during weight loss
Exercise during weight loss is crucial for preventing muscle loss and promoting targeted weight loss from fat. Even modest amounts of low-intensity physical activity can be beneficial. It is advised to avoid fad diets that may cause more harm than good.
