A member asked:
If i transition into a lower carb diet and increase my protein intake, will i lose muscle mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You will enable yourself to build more lean muscle with this approach, especially if you add weightlifting/resistance training to your workouts. Your body can make it's own carbohydrates, but can not make more muscle without enough protein in your diet to supply the metabolic machine.
