In fact, whether to lose fat or gain muscle first depends mainly on personal preferences and fitness concepts. You can't blindly learn other people's fitness methods, because it doesn't necessarily suit you, it doesn't have much effect on you, and it will also dampen your enthusiasm for fitness.

For most people who are thin and don't care about physical beauty, the effect of losing fat first is definitely better than gaining muscle first. This kind of people can increase their muscle mass by eating high-calorie foods rich in protein, and add more body fat on the basis of the existing body fat.

If you choose to reduce fat first, it is easy to see the effect of reducing fat. Of course, some people will say that people who are already thin will look very thin if they lose fat again. In fact, as long as you carry out resistance training while reducing fat, you will not be worried.

Extended data:

Reducing fat is the behavior that the fat in animals exceeds the normal range. Because of their health, they lose excess fat in various ways.

Energy will neither be produced out of thin air nor disappear out of thin air. It can only be converted from one form to another or from one object to another. When some form of energy decreases, there must be other forms of energy increase, and the decrease and increase must be equal. This is the law of conservation of energy in physics.

Fat is the most important energy storage substance in human body. According to the law of conservation of energy, the so-called fat reduction is not to reduce energy, but with the reduction of fat, the energy of fat decomposition is bound to be converted into another energy, such as providing mechanical energy for exercise.
