When I lost weight, I used a radical method, which made me lose weight mainly because of muscle loss and water reduction, not fat reduction, so although I lost weight, my body shape seemed to change little. With the same mass of fat and muscle, the volume of fat is almost four times that of muscle, so when muscle is lost, the impact on appearance is basically small, but it has a great impact on weight.

If this is the case, it is necessary to adjust the idea of losing weight as soon as possible, because muscle is the main place of energy consumption and directly related to the level of metabolism. If the loss and consumption of muscles are reduced, the next step will slow down or even rebound, because the accumulation speed of fat far exceeds the synthesis speed of muscles. If the water in the body is temporarily reduced by radical methods, the weight will rebound with the supplement of water in the body.

It can be said that these two practices have no positive effect on weight loss and need to be avoided in weight loss. Only by combining proper diet control with proper exercise can we really lose fat, make our body slimmer and healthier, and make our weight and body shape change well.
