No, Weight loss does not cause muscle loss. Weight loss and muscle loss is little bit different. Typically, when you want to “lose weight,” you mean you want to lose fat while maintaining as much muscle as possible. If you’re losing muscle and not fat, then you may need to make some changes to your diet and exercise to counteract this.

Does a lack of protein help weight loss?

Not really. A lack of calories helps weight loss, but a lack of protein will encourage muscle catabolism- the body will break down muscle for energy- not good when you want to be taking care of fat. Consuming sufficient, or even a little extra protein during caloric reduction, in addition to regular weight lifting, can help to preserve muscle mass while reducing body fat.
