I want to lose weight but maintain my muscle. A dietitian said to eat more carbs, and keep prioritizing whole foods, protein, and plants.

Kara Mockler emphasizes that for Silvia to maintain her muscle while losing fat, she must prioritize being in a calorie deficit and incorporating resistance training into her routine.

Mockler advises that while cardio exercises like walking and HIIT are beneficial, they do not contribute significantly to muscle retention compared to weightlifting.

Silvia's calorie intake is roughly between 1,800 and 2,100, but Mockler cautions her to track her intake accurately to ensure she's truly in a calorie deficit.

It's important for Silvia to consider reducing her calorie intake on workout days if she isn't seeing progress, as part of her weight loss journey.
