Subcutaneous Fat
The soft fat layer just under your skin, generally less harmful than deep visceral fat around the organs.
Weight Cycling
Weight cycling, or yo-yo dieting, is the repeated pattern of losing and regaining weight, which can slow metabolism and make future weight loss harder.
Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage measures the proportion of body weight from fat, providing a more accurate health picture than BMI alone.
Metabolic Adaptation
The body’s natural slowing of metabolism in response to weight loss.
Visceral Fat
Fat stored around internal organs — the most dangerous type of body fat.
BMI
Body Mass Index — a screening tool using height and weight to assess weight status.
Basal Metabolic Rate
Calories your body burns at complete rest — the foundation of energy expenditure.
