Why my body fat can't go down?

Weight Loss for Women · 1 min read · Nov 8, 2025

Balance Between Muscle and Body Fat:

It's normal for muscle mass and body fat to decrease together, but if muscle loss occurs at a faster rate than fat loss, it may indicate an imbalance. To prevent this, ensure sufficient protein intake and engage in regular exercise.

Duration for Fat Reduction:

Intermittent fasting typically shows fat reduction results within 8 to 12 weeks.

Measuring Body Fat:

A resistive body fat analyzer is commonly used to measure body fat. However, during fasting, the body often loses water, which can increase resistance and may artificially inflate body fat percentage readings. Focus on maintaining protein intake to help manage body composition effectively.
