Diet Without Exercising Lose Valuable Muscle Mass For Older Weight Loss
Older weight loss risks include dieting without exercising leading to more loss of lean muscle, according to a recent study. Compared to sedentary participants, older weight loss dieters who exercised nearly stopped the loss of lean muscle mass completely. This is good news because older people’s bodies tend to lose muscle mass as time goes by.
The researchers, carried out by Francesca Amati, John J. Dube, Chris Shay and Goodpaster, all of the University of Pittsburgh, measured how many calories the participants expended during a set work load on a stationary bicycle at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. They found that the:
- Exercise group expended fewer calories (became more efficient) on the exercise task at the end of the study compared to the beginning.
- Exercise group drew more on fat stores as the source of their body’s fuel.
- Diet-only group did not gain efficiency in performing the exercise task, even though they weighed less at the end of the experiment.
- Diet-only group’s weight loss resulted from a loss of both muscle and fat.
- Exercise plus diet group was the most efficient at the exercise task at the end of the experiment. This shows an additive effect of both dieting and exercise, but most of that benefit was due to exercise.
- Exercise plus diet group, like the exercise-only group, drew more on fat stores as an energy source.

Just because one is older weight loss doesn’t have to be extra challenging. This study proves even exercising for a short period of time while dieting produces metabolic changes of a positive nature. Evidently it is very important to exercise when losing weight if you are of the older weight loss persuasion. I am glad this discovery has come into the lime light.
A toast to all those older weight loss mover and shakers!
