In prostate cancer patients, resistance exercise training counteracts the adverse effects of ADT on body composition, muscle mass, muscle strength, and aerobic capacity, with no additional benefits of protein supplementation."

So far not exactly my experience-4 months on ADT and I think at best I have mitigated some muscle loss.Throuh rigoros dieting, I've lost a couple pounds, but I'm guessing that is due to some muscle loss . BUT- I am quite sure if wasn't rigorous about it I'd have gained weight and all of it flab.

Yes, the phrasing can be misleading: "counteracts" ≠ "cancels out.". That's why I prefer the term "mitigates."
