.
EVEN if you have never experienced eating disorders or body dysmorphia, these are potential issues you will experience during your journey. Especially more so the case when nearing the tail end of a dieting phase/contest season.
.
Going from 5-6% to 8-12% for a male or
Going from 10-14% to 15-20% for a female

2. Approximate weight/body fat lost
3. Diet Duration

Metabolic Adaptations and Low Energy Availability or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (termed RED-S) are bound to occur at some point, so understanding how to maneuver and manage them is critical for long term success.
.
Even more so the case when it comes to the Recovery Phase.
