Dieting can trigger your innate self-protection responses. Your body will adjust to deal with lifestyle changes, and what we do not use or need will take second place to the essential. An example being a sedentary, non-active person who does not use his/her muscles will tend to lose lean tissue (particularly muscle) when on a diet. This occurs simply because the dieter’s body-wisdom does not recognize muscle tissue as being essential. Conversely an overweight individual’s body will tend to preserve the fat it has become used to. If, however, the dieter is an active, sporting individual who makes use of his/her muscles, the muscle tissue will be seen by the metabolism as essential, and the lean muscle tissue loss will be minimal, but with more fat loss occurring.
