What is a Healthy Body Fat Percentage?

Reducing Your Body Fat

To lower your body fat, you must eat fewer calories than you use. The human body is made to store fat so that it maintains reserves of energy. If you take in fewer calories, your body will burn these fat reserves.

To healthily lose weight, you should aim to lose at a slow pace of no more than 2 pounds per week. Additionally, you should be sure to exercise to minimize the loss of muscle and maximize the loss of fat.
