The Adventures of the Mystic Pymp (currently AM6 second run)

On more interesting news I've lost 2kg in October! This is bizarre as I had less exercise than in summer and I stopped listening to weight loss program way back, but I won't be complaining now.

Muscle is more dense than fat, and if one doesn't exercise certain muscles regularly the body will decide they aren't as necessary as they used to be so given a choice it will likely use some protein from those muscles as energy since protein is easier to break down than starches for such.

On the other hand, if you have a high metabolism you'll be using energy even when not exercising.

Keep your protein intake high to prevent losing protein to your metabolic processes.

(edit to fix muscle/fat density distinction)
