Do you guys think that I should focus on losing weight or something like that?
I'll make the story short...
My body fat is 25% & visceral fat is 6.
Blood type is A+.
Basically, I went through ups and downs in gaining and losing weight (fat) over the years growing up, self-experimenting with different diet (eating habit) to gain muscle.
A few years ago, I was invited and learned on nutrition, and I followed it.
A healthy diet and basically if I wanted to gain muscle, I should focus on lowering the visceral fat to a very healthy level first.
I didn't gain muscle, but body fat went as low to about 11%.
At one point, I met someone who disagree with that point of view and thinks that having a very low visceral fat is not good because physically look very thin.
I followed her advice and every time I got paranoid because my fat went up to 20%, she told me that it's okay...but I hated my face because I prefer my face when my body fat was less than 15%.
I mean, I am sort of okay with my body right now...but it's just that my face is getting rounder/chubbier and that's the part I didn't like at all.
I still look good in the mirror (from far) but chubby when I get close to the mirror.
I noticed one thing in the past year until now, is that my muscle mass is still about the same, and although I gained weight...it's due to the increase in body fat.
Real healthy food is not cheap, I can't cook, and in restaurants, rice with protein (chicken, fish) is more expensive than rice with vegetables.
