Physical activity and loss of body fat
When losing weight through calorie reduction alone, a person loses 25% of his or her lean body mass and 75% of his or her body fat . Combining calorie reduction with physical activity can result in loss of 98% of body fat. Weight loss that is achieved with a combination of calorie restriction and physical activity is more effective. For maintenance of desirable body weight, a maintenance level of calories along with physical activity is recommended to preserve lean body mass and muscle tone.
