Summary:
Older people who lose weight through diet lose more weight from muscle than those who lose weight through exercise
A 4-month study from the University of Pittsburgh found a combination of diet and exercise worked best
Participants who cut 500-1000 calories from their diet and worked out 3 to 5 days a week lost the most weight while building muscle
Comment: Combination exercise and diet is best but cutting 1000 calories is too much for most people who also exercise
