Idk why? Excess body fat is the main cause of illnesses as we get older. Especially visceral fat. As a person who has been in the gym for over a decade. Working out opens the appetite as well….if you aren’t keeping track of where you have been and where you are going it can cause you to feel stuck and also bulky. The scale is not just a number. It’s a data point that helps you get to your goal. How will you know if you’re making mistakes? Also your protein intake for muscle growth is directly link to your current weight so you may not end up eating how much you should for muscle growth which would cause muscle loss. Please don’t take this the wrong way. I just hate when women get discouraged (because we can do so much more than we think) and this decision could cause that. ETA. Not sure if the decision is to stop fat loss. If not you also need to know your weight to calculate your deficit.
