Muscle mass

[buneknek]

I had 2 weeks off working out because me & my daughter got sick. I stepped on my weighing scale & says I lost 4 lbs. My eating was not changed probably ate more junk than anything else. So did I loose muscle mass & not fat then? My clothes are still the same so I thought maybe muscle mass.

The Detraining Effect: How Long Does It Take to Get Out of Shape?

No, in two weeks you're not going to lose 4 lbs of muscle. Short term weight fluctuations are usually caused by retention or loss of water. Your body is mainly made of water - not muscle and fat.

We have an article that you will see in either in next weeks Newsletter or the following weeks Newsletter that discusses this called: The Detraining Effect: How Long Does It Take to Get Out of Shape?
