Answer:

One of the most important things people neglect about fat loss (and it's a weird thing for sure) is to eat enough calories. Many people think the fastest road to fat loss is through eating very little. That IS true...to a point.

Eating very little will simply slow down your metabolism and make it that much harder to lose weight/fat. Your body will go into starvation mode and try to conserve every bit of fat that it can.

Fat is your body's main protection against starvation and your body will do whatever it can to hold onto that fat and get rid of the tissues that cost more energy to maintain, such as muscle mass.
