If I lose weight from not eating as much is it just muscle or did I also lose fat weight?

Question

I have been drinking smoothies in the morning of just fruits and spinach, I have also cut back on how much I eat by a lot. I went from 156 to 137, The back fat I used to have its most definitely not there anymore but I also don’t know if i just lost muscle ? My stomach looks more flat that it did before and you can see my curves much better.

Answer

U may have lost muscle, but u definitely lost fat as well. The physical changes in ur body/appearance are proof of that. That said, to help build up the muscle ur losing, u should do strength training exercises, if u aren’t already, alongside the eating/drinking more protein.

Answer

First you lose the fat. Then if you are not eating well enough to sustain your body it will then turn to use your muscle for energy. This happened to me when I was struggling with my weight and body image. You will actually begin to feel weaker if you start to lose muscle.
