Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

It applies to anyone. There is no way to avoid losing muscle while cutting calories, unless you are taking steroids, but you can minimize it.
-1g protein per pound of bodyweight daily
-lift relatively heavy in terms of weight. Lower reps, more weight
-walking ONLY for cardio activities
-prioritize 8 hours of sleep per night
-fasting for 24 hours 1-2x per week is muscle sparing due to influx of GH released(up to 700% normal) and will burn almost pure fat.

It's funny but I have been doing OMAD diet for around 4 weeks now.
Needed to shed some belly fat and have lost quite abit of excess weight around the belly.
In regards to muscle loss, I don't seem to has lost much. Have been eating one high protein meal a day, and maybe one little snack.
Been lifting consistently throughout, heavier weights.
Also cardio wise, no intense running, just walk in the treadmill.
I may need to slightly increase my calories now, as I want to gain some more muscle mass considering I have lost the belly.
However my concern is, the belly will come back soon as I up the calories.
I don't think I can sustain one meal a day long term, the heavier I lift, the more my body is starving for calories.
I think I need to be realistic, at age 47 it's highly unlikely I can sustain a flat stomach at all times lol
