Episode 3071: JC Deen offers a strategic breakdown of how to intentionally lose muscle mass while dieting ideal for athletes in weight-class sports or anyone seeking a leaner frame. He demystifies common misconceptions and provides precise methods for reducing muscle through controlled calorie deficits, specific training changes, and deliberate nutritional shifts. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jcdfitness.com/2009/09/how-to-lose-muscle-while-dieting/ Quotes to ponder: "If you want to lose muscle, you’ll have to stop training them so hard, stop giving them a reason to stick around." "Eating in a deficit, doing cardio, and lowering your protein intake will surely help the muscle fall off." "You can’t expect to maintain your muscle mass if you’re not giving your body the stimulus or fuel to do so."
