Is it possible for weight to decrease on the scale as a result of muscle loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: Loss of fat AND/OR MUSCLE OR BOTH CAN CAUSES WEIGHT LOSS! Weight training can minimize this! Adequate caloric intake, especially from protein is mandatory, if muscle loss is occuring!
