I'm proof of this as I lost over 70lbs my first time on LC, and couldn't
exercise at all, in fact couldn't even walk without a cane due to a hip
injury. Since I had been a gym rat all my life I had a fair amt of muscle
mass under the fat, so that helped, I'm sure. (I had gained it initially
due to a 2 year lay-off doing a big programming project).
