Prefer not -- sorry! I'm here on my real name. If you want my advice, lose the weight then worry about it. A good amount of research indicates you tend to gain muscle mass in the fat/muscle percentage you start with; regardless if you are seriously in need of weight loss, the benefits of doing that far outweigh the (temporary?) downsides of losing some muscle mass for most people I bet.

Totally understood. I do hear amazing results from people whose BMI is 35 or above.

I wonder how well it works for people with Normal to Overweight BMI of about 25 to 35

I went from BMI 38 to 24. It worked fastest in the mid ranges.
