This is from the "Training for Fat Loss" video review in the August 2021 issue of the Weightology Research Review.⁠ ⁠ Why do we lose muscle when we diet? It's because being in an energy deficit reduces muscle protein synthesis.⁠ ⁠ However, when we do resistance training, it helps bring muscle protein synthesis back to normal. This is how resistance training helps preserve muscle when you're losing weight.⁠ ⁠ Maintaining muscle during fat loss isn't just important for contest-prepping bodybuilders or physique athletes. It's important to any athlete trying to maintain performance when losing fat. It's also helps maintain strength and muscle function in anyone who is looking to lose weight for overall health reasons.⁠ ⁠ For the entire video review, or more video and written reviews like this, check out the Weightology Research Review. We review 6+ studies per month, and subscribers get access to all back content. -James Krieger. 

Good stuff, what are the a,b,c for? 

Nm it’s to differentiate the columns I think lol 

No idea what I'm looking at here.  

I'm not sure what the abcd stands for but the graph is just showing how everyone gained muscle with resistance training despite a deficit. The ones having protein post-workout gained the most. Having energy balance was superior of course. I would have liked to see a surplus too. 

Ditto on that. Surplus(by amount) and surplus+whey post workout would be nice  

It looks like it’s harder to fool females than males on the placebo tho 🤣
