Suggest Effective Ways To Lose Body Fat

Hi,



I have a high body fat percentage which is higher than an ordinary women should have. my readings is 31.7% but my BMI is 20.8. I have been going to gym twice a week and eating healthy food such as rolled oats for breakfast, vegetables wraps for lunch and meal replacement drink during dinner. Could you please advise what is the effective way of losing the extra 10% of my body fats?

Hello!
Your diet is good. Try to eat a high protein diet with cheese, egg, cottage cheese, milk chicken, fish and less carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cookies, spaghetti, desserts. Proteins are the best source of food for the muscle which help you burn calories. The perfect solution is diet + exercise. The best kind of exercise is cardio + weight training which burn a lot of calories. Don't worry because weight lifting won't make you look huge, like a man because you don't have the same amount of testosterone. Testosterone in men helps them build more muscle.
Best regards.
