How do I just lose weight and not gain muscle?
You lose weight and not gain muscle by eating less calories than your body requires each day. When people go on weight loss diets, they go smaller and lose weight through muscle loss. Weight loss diets, generally speaking, do not cut a great deal of fat, and a lot of the weight that is lost is through muscle. So it’s simple. Eat below your daily calorie requirement. The further below your requirement, the more extreme the weight loss will be. Also, I should stress, people who suffer from “excess muscle gain” are one in a million, probably one in 50 million. Even in these cases, muscle gain is NOT excessive, but if they choose they can gain muscle at a slightly accelerated rate.
