Resistance training during a 12-week protein supplemented VLCD treatment enhances weight-loss outcomes in obese patients.
CONCLUSION:
Resistance training was advantageous for weight-loss composition by preservation of LM without compromising overall weight- or fat-loss in morbidly obese men and women undergoing a protein supplemented VLCD. These changes accompanied positive adaptations for resting metabolism and muscular function.

The best part: "CON lost 4.6 ± 0.8 kg (p = 0.004) of lean mass (LM) while RT demonstrated no changes."
^The group that did not lift weights lost 5.4 kilograms of lean mass. Almost 12 pounds of muscle if I am reading that right. This lowered their metabolism. Another victory for resistance training helping you lose the right kind of weight and keeping your metabolism humming to keep the fat off for good.
I had no idea the morbidly obese were at such risk of losing muscle that quickly. I'm pretty shocked by it.

Draglist, if this can get just one person so choose RT when possible, it's a win. I hope that you're able to. I truly believe it's key in helping you lose more fat and improve your metabolism so that you can more easily keep it off.

Good post as usual! Wish I’d have known you and believed this information when I started. I’d still be heavier than I want but I’d have way more muscle still 😭

I will say this about resistance training. Even if the net weight loss isn't big, the benefits are. I went from 328 and unable to tie my shoes and breath at the same time -- nevermind actually do any body weight squats -- to being able to squat with 325 pounds on my shoulders, push 270 pounds off my chest, and squat down/bend over and pick up 405 pounds off the ground. I'm only a net 20 or so pounds lighter now, 6 months after starting lifting, but I'm far stronger and can actually run (some) and walk (a lot) without getting winded. I'd like to be at least another 25 pounds lighter, but while I'm dissatisfied with how much my belly still sticks out, I certainly can't complain about my improved ability to do, well, pretty much anything lol.

Except for a pull up. I still can't do those lol. But I'm getting there -- can get my nose even with the bar!

Yes, more lean body mass at the same weight will make you more mobile and healthier.

Thanks. I think a lot of us get too focused on what the scale says and miss the point. Heck, I have to remind myself of it from time to time!

Thanks for the link, Diablo. I think more people would adopt this plan if they realized how much they could eat with extra lean mass.

Yes, also a big plus is that when you reach your goal weight there is much less of a chance that someone will ask if you're sick. I hear people talk about that a lot. Anyone doing rapid weight loss either with a VLCD or weight loss surgery without lifting. It's when you lose a lot of fat but also a lot of lean mass with it that you start to look frail. Up the protein intake and do resistance training if that has ever been a problem for you, and even if it hasn't, do it anyway, :D
