A member asked:
Will it affect my growth if i lose fat but by exercising more and not by reducing calories?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: As long as a person is in normal health, eating a normal diet, and exercising a normal amount, he or she should be just fine losing some fat by increasing the amount of exercise. He should keep a healthy, nutritious diet with a variety of foods, and also avoid sugars and simple starches.
