Did you experience any muscle wasting?

Hi Bat,
I switched to a whole food plant based diet that is very nutrient dense but not calorie dense so lost a lot of fat rather than experience muscle wastage. I take Creatine and lift weights regularly. Creatine helps boost muscle growth and has been shown to help regenerate peripheral nerves too. Weight training and stretching are for me keys to recovery.

Hope this helps
