But more recently, a shift in the narrative is emerging—a much-needed one, in my opinion. Instead of focusing solely on weight loss, the discussion is increasingly centered around strength gain and lean mass percentage.
This is where the concept of body recomposition steps in. It’s no longer about seeing that number on the scale drop but about changing the fat to lean muscle mass ratio. The goal is to build muscle while reducing fat, leading to a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable body. This shift in focus is not only more effective for long-term health but also promotes a healthier mindset towards fitness and nutrition.
