Older women and losing and regaining weight- not good news!
Truly not good news, as if we didn't have enough bad news on this front already. It's a study of 78 postmenopausal women and their percentage of regain as a group, and also that while both muscle and fat were lost, mostly fat was regained. Also bone density was lost and not recouped.
Yikes! All the more reason to exercise and avoid regain.
