Go from CHUNKY to CHAD
Before we look at how you drop body fat.
Let's look at what body fat % you ideally want to be.
For optimal male health you want to be approximately 15% - 10% body fat
When outside of this body fat % range things like testosterone, energy, metabolism & cognitive health suffer.
At the 10% - 15% body fat range you are at you see multiple other benefits including
Higher energy
Lower estrogen
Lower cancer risk
Higher vit D levels
Higher confidence
Better heart health
Higher testosterone
Lower dementia risk
Lower depression risk
Stronger Immune system
1. Eat high protein
Enough protein in your diet is vital for sustainable fat loss
Protein is highly filling
Protein has a high thermic effect
Protein is the building block of muscle (more muscle = more calories burned)
I suggest about 1 gram of protein per lbs of body weight
2. Regular resistance training
Muscle burns a lot of calories & the more muscle mass you carry the more fat you will burn
If you are losing weight without doing resistance training you will just end up skinny fat
So make sure you are resistance training at least 3 days a week
