Negative Effects On Bones After Weight Loss Persist Through Weight Maintenance

Really?
"When a person is losing a significant amount of weight, they expect to notice changes in their body. However, they may overlook changes happening in their bones. During weight loss through calorie-restricted diets, bones are being remodeled - breaking down old bone and forming new bone - at an accelerated rate. At the same time, bone density is decreasing, causing increased fragility. In a new study, a University of Missouri researcher and collaborators at the University of Kansas found that the potentially harmful effects of weight loss on bone persist during weight maintenance following moderate weight loss."
Then there is this:
"'From this study alone, it is impossible to determine the consequences of accelerated bone remodeling during weight maintenance,' Hinton said. 'Because bone strength adapts to match skeletal load, body weight is one of the strongest predictors of bone mass. People planning on losing a significant amount of weight should consider incorporating high-impact weight-bearing physical activity into their exercise routine and consuming adequate calcium to improve bone health.'"
So where are the "negative effects"? (except maybe from the "high-impact" activity)

Right or wrong, either way, train to improve your muscles, bones and more.
