Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Lower body fat: Yes. you will if you don't burn muscles as well when you lower body fat. I recommend you read about the Minnesota experiments on starvation and look at the pictures to decide how muscular you want to look. Go to Wikipedia and read Ancel Keys' the Biology of Human Starvation.
