Yes it is, but why would you try to lose what people want? To lose muscle you just have to stop working out. Having muscle burns more calories, makes your body feel healthy, physically stronger and more resistant during any activity. I honestly don't see why you want to lose 4 lbs of it.


Do you lose muscle if you dont eat enough protein?

Yes you will. Your body needs the amino acids in protein to rebuild muscle after a workout. If you intend to keep working out then you need protein otherwise your muscles will not rebuild and then they will deteriorate. If you just say "oh well then i wont lift weights", well then you will still lose muscle mass because you wont be working out. If you dont challenge your muscles they will shrink.

You have been working out but have not started to lose weight?

# With the high calorie foodstuffs that we have available today it's so easy to overeat that it's pretty close to impossible to lose any weight unless you're also watching your diet - regardless of how hard you're exercising. # If you're working out regularly and properly you will have triggered some muscle growth, and volume by volume muscle is heavier than fat. # you're not telling how long you've been working out. Depending on which level you're starting from it can bea while before results begin showing.
