A four-pound-per-week weight loss will cause the loss of lean body mass.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Losing four pounds per week is a very rapid weight loss and may result in the loss of both fat and lean body mass. The percentage of lean body mass lost may be higher if the weight loss is too rapid or if there is no exercise or resistance training incorporated into the weight loss program. It is recommended to aim for a gradual weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week to minimize the loss of lean body mass.
