A member asked:

I am on a weight loss plan but all i lost was muscle how is that possible in two months? no working out just diet. ate a lot of chicken.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle loss: If you have time I strongly recommend you go to a local training program where you will get back your muscle and enjoy your improvement. Your friends will be jealous and you will point them in the right direction to improve their physical fitness.
