In addition, most people don’t train properly to maintain muscle (or they don’t work out at all). Instead, they try to starve the fat. That only makes it worse, because your body has a complex and redundant series of defense mechanisms to protect you from starvation and maintain a stable weight.
Don't try to starve the fat. Starving the fat triggers the Starvation Response and dooms the dieter. Instead burn the fat (while feeding muscle).
