can you lose muscle mass on atkins and also how much weight can u lose on induction?

Answer 1

yes most diffinetely you can loos muscle mass because muscle is essentially water bound fibers. on induction, weight loss can vary with each person because technically you can stay on induction for up to six months - not recommended though because its very hard on your kidneys. in two to three weeks of induction you can plan on avg of lossing around 15 to 20lbs easily.

Answer 2

Your body is constantly being broken down for nutrients, both fat and muscle. If you don't eat enough then your body mass decreases. This is the central principle involved in any kind of weight loss. The amount of muscle you lose depends on how high your body fat percentage is. Unless you have really low body fat you probably will not lose a significant amount of muscle. It is always good to do some weight training to balance out calorie burning exercise, because a lot of aerobics can cause some muscle atrophe. Atkins is supposed to be designed for a minimal muscle loss because its a high protein diet. This is a misleading idea. Just because you are consuming higher percentage of protein doesn't necessarily mean you will lose less muscle. It depends more on your body fat percentage, calories consumed, and what type of workouts you are doing.

Answer 3

Actually doing the Atkins diet as long as you exercise you wont loose muscle mass, 95% of what you are eating is protein. But the secret, as with any diet,...exercise

Answer 4

No matter what diet you are on you will lose mass. However, the Atkins diet spares more muscle than low fat or low calorie diets.
