When it comes to reducing body fat, there’s a lot of information out there to digest. As a result, it can be difficult to discern which strategies are best for individuals looking to lose weight and/or lower their body fat percentage—especially since the answer is often not just diet and exercise (though they are part of it). In fact, research shows successfully achieving an ideal body fat percentage varies from person to person, so what works for one body may not work for the next.
