How Do I Prevent Muscle Loss While Losing Weight?

Losing weight feels great—until you realize some of that weight might be muscle. And muscle is gold. It keeps your metabolism humming, supports strength, and helps you maintain your results long after the number on the scale hits your goal.

So, how do you lose fat without sacrificing muscle? The secret is support.

What You Can Do Right Now

💪 Prioritize Protein Your body needs protein to build and preserve muscle—especially when you're in a calorie deficit. Whether you’re eating lean meats, plant-based options, or adding protein powder, make sure you're getting enough. A general guideline? Aim for 0.7 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight—but consult with your provider to tailor this for your needs.

🧬 Consider BCAAs or Creatine Supplements like BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) and creatine support muscle maintenance and recovery. They’re especially helpful if you’re working out regularly or are just starting to lift weights.

⚖️ Stay Consistent with Resistance Training You don’t have to become a gym rat, but incorporating resistance exercises a few times a week can help your body hold onto muscle while dropping fat.
