How to Get Under 8% Bodyfat without Slowing Your Metabolism

I’m just hoping to get to 12-15% 😂

High energy flux has been key to me in losing weight. I think I’m down to about 14% body fat which I’m happy with. I have a big appetite so I just make sure I get the low intensity cardio/ steps in alongside weight training to allow me to eat more and not feel hungry

I think 8% fat mass is probably too low for optimal health. In January I was 33% and I am now 27%, and I lost 11kg in 6 months. While keeping more or less 70kg muscles (went down 69kg and now back up to 70kg). I would be extremely happy to get below 20% fat. And 15% is in my mind the absolute optimal. Even if I hate it, the fat mass has several roles and in the long run it is probably healthy to keep "some". My energy level has gone a little down lately, but the heat outside is probably the main cause. My calories are low (due to fasting, but not on meals) and I always keep some carbohydrates, even if the main goal of my diet is to keep them low. There is a big difference between complete removal and a 90% reduction. I look at keto and carnivore with interest, but I prefer to be closer to mediterranean with supplements. Low carb, priority to proteins, and a bias toward good fats. I don't run, I walk, and I started bodyweight exercise to regain 1kg muscle. Now I think about starting to lift and also maybe interval sprint.

I always love watching your stuff but what a niche video! According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys in recent years about 1 percent of men had a body fat percentage of 14.3% or lower as measured by DXA (or 10.6% or lower as measured by calipers) and for woment only 1% had a body fat percentage of 24.2% or lower as measured by DXA (or 19.1% or lower as measured by calipers).

Please do a video for someone in the 40s want to get from 30% bodyfat to 12% and staying there. I have done this journey atleast 2-3 times, but each time I fell off wagon and gradually got back to 30%.

Ive been on a 12 week challenge to get down to 8% before I go on vacation August 25th, started at 221 pretty chunky, last week i weighed in at 215.6 at 12.6% bodyfat precentage, following lou ferrigno old book personal power and bodybuilding, also incorporating your videos and information! Thanks for the info!

Following his bodybuilding victories at sub 3% in his forties, Clarence Bass famously kept his body fat well below 10% for over 20 years and would dip below 6% once a year. He often wrote about how easy it was for him as he built his strategies into a consistent, sustainable lifestyle

I feel the healthiest and happiest around 15% body fat. Great energy, good libido, get to enjoy food more, and still look decent. Single digit body fat isn't worth it.

I would agree being 8-9% body fat doesn’t really feel my best 💪🏻 ideally 10-11% is better for me 💪🏻🔥

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
