Body Recomposition: The Art of Losing Fat and Gaining Muscle

I remember the days I started lifting. I was already a fat boy so I obviously wanted to lose some weight and gain some muscles, especially achieve a six-pack.

A while into it I realized my weight was not going down, I remember checking one time and I went up by 2kg. It was heartbreaking.

Something was happening but I didn’t take note of it until one day I will put on old pants and they fit very loose around my waist, my shirt became tight around the chest area the sleeves constantly hugging my arms, at those moments I realized something was changing I just didn’t understand what to call it. Years letter i understood it was called “BODY RECOMPOSITION”. 

Body recomposition

is the process of losing body fat while building muscle mass. It is a popular goal among fitness enthusiasts as it improves overall body composition and health.

The key to successful body recomposition is creating a caloric deficit through diet and increasing energy expenditure through strength training.

A caloric deficit encourages the body to use stored fat for energy, while strength training builds and retains muscle mass.

Diet plays a significant role in body recomposition. To lose fat, it is essential to consume fewer calories than you burn.

This can be achieved by reducing portion sizes, choosing nutrient-dense foods, and limiting processed and high-fat foods. Additionally, adequate protein intake is essential for muscle building and repairs.

Strength training, such as weightlifting and resistance exercises, is crucial for building muscle and retaining it during a caloric deficit.

It is recommended to perform strength training exercises two to three times a week, focusing on multiple muscle groups. It is important to progress gradually in weight and reps to continually challenge your muscles and promote growth.

Cardiovascular exercise, such as running or cycling, can also aid in body recomposition by burning additional calories and improving cardiovascular health.

However, it is important not to rely solely on cardio as it does not build muscle mass to the same extent as strength training.

Patience and consistency are essential in body recomposition. Results may not be immediate, but gradual and sustainable progress is the goal.

It is also important to track your progress through methods such as body measurements, weight, and progress photos to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your routine.

In conclusion, body recomposition is a combination of diet and strength training aimed at losing body fat and building muscle mass.

Consistency, patience, and tracking progress are key to achieving successful results. Start small and progress gradually for a sustainable and enjoyable journey towards improved body composition.
