How do I prevent muscle loss when dieting?

[arry]

I'm already lifting weights as part of my workout
but is that enough to prevent any muscle loss or do I really have to be moderate with my dieting? I'm shooting for an 1800 calorie a day diet.

To prevent muscle loss diet very slowly.

What do you weigh?

Supplement with Creatine 500 or RESULTS. Either will make a significant difference in the amount of lean muscle tissue you will be able to ultimately retain.

Lift weights. Eat a slight calorie deficit. Make sure you get enough protein.
