Exercising and Fat loss
Weight loss or weight gain is determined by the number of calories a person consumes, and weight or fat loss is determined by the type of activities a person does!
Fatloss is primarily driven by a calorie deficit, combined with sufficient protein, rest, recovery, and training.
Exercise gives a stimulus to the body to keep the muscles intact, or in some cases grow while on a deficit. The human body is inclined towards gaining and storing fats because of evolution.
While in a deficit, the body tries to save the fat mass, and without proper training, the body can end up losing muscles, with some fats.
To limit the loss, exercise is crucial.
The other benefit is PAL, physical activity levels.
