Body Fat Dynamics
Excess body fat can be challenging to lose, but with the right approach, it's achievable without compromising nutrition or protein intake. The body responds to specific signals, optimizing itself based on individual factors like age and body fat percentage. Understanding your unique energy balance is key; pushing too low can lead to negative outcomes such as loss of lean mass and decreased workout effectiveness.In this clip

Related Questions
I have a question about body fat and muscle maintenance. I suffered from anorexia and bulimia from the age of 13 until 28, with my lowest weight being 72 lbs. After 28, my weight fluctuated between 180 and 110 lbs, and I developed a binge/restrict relationship with food and exercise. About five years ago, I started consistently weight training and dropped all cardio-based workouts. I am now 45 and find that no matter my body weight, I can't seem to drop below 25 percent body fat. Whenever I go into any type of deficit, my body immediately loses muscle. What can I do to address this issue?
