Weight gain and body fat percentage decrease

Many people measure their body fat percentage before losing weight, thinking that if the body fat percentage decreases, the body weight will also decrease. However, during the training process, you will often find that your body fat percentage has decreased but your weight has increased instead. This is often because of the wrong weight loss method that causes muscle burning. The following introduces the reasons why weight gain and decreased body fat percentage may occur. Let’s take a look.

First, what are the reasons for weight gain and decreased body fat percentage? It may be that your weight loss method is not right. Sometimes, if you lose weight by dieting, this kind of situation will indeed occur. Now, for a period of time, I went on a heavy diet to control my weight. Sometimes I just drank a cup of coffee for breakfast, a fruit salad at noon, and some vegetables at night. I was starving every day. After a period of time, I lost more than 5 kilograms, but my body fat percentage increased from 22 to 27.

Second, when people are hungry, the first thing to be broken down is not your fat, but your muscle. The decomposition rate of protein is faster than the decomposition rate of fat. When they are both broken down at the same time, your muscle growth is damaged much more than fat. In this case, it is easy for you to have an increase in body fat percentage.

What are the reasons for weight gain and decreased body fat percentage? The above content introduces them. Therefore, if you use dieting to lose weight, it is normal for your weight to decrease but your body fat percentage to increase. In this case, you should try to reduce the obvious signs of hunger. When you are very hungry, you should eat some small meals. It is important to eat small meals frequently, but you must never let yourself feel hungry. At the same time, adding some muscle strength training can help you maintain your muscle content. While losing weight, you can ensure that your body fat percentage is within a very good range. After your weight has dropped to a certain level, don't let it continue to drop. Instead, you should increase your muscle content and keep your body fat percentage stable while keeping your weight unchanged.
