@theultimatehumanofficial: Fat loss happens inside your mitochondria, not just on the scale. Stored fat only becomes usable energy when two things happen: • Fatty acids are released from storage. • Your body needs the energy to produce ATP. That's why hormones, training, and nutrition all work together. And while a calorie deficit is important, making it too aggressive can trigger metabolic adaptation, where your body slows calorie burn in an effort to conserve energy.
