Normal: You do not want to be losing muscle when losing weight. Also, you cannot lose weight from specific areas, fat is burned from wherever. Be careful with no carb diets. Your brain needs carbs to work properly. If you don't have carbs your brain uses ketone bodies made from fat, which it does not like as much. A balanced diet & exercise is the best way to lose weight & keep it off.
