Pure Fat Loss Versus Body Recomp? Any Way to Have Structured Debate, Discussion?

Hi Everyone,

For about 95% of the population, and even the bodybuilding crowd, we could all stand to lose excess bodyfat.

Even competitive bodybuilders want that last 1% of bodyfat to go down.

However, the real question is "is it worth all the sacrifice"?

I know many people have traditionally focused on the "bulk up off season, cut up in season" mentality. Yet, I can see it go very wrong in terms of too much bodyfat gain, and or too much energy, strength, and muscle loss.


For a pure fat loss book, I can see Lyle McDonald "Rapid Fat Loss" handbook, Tom Venuto "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" and many others are good.

On the other hand, books like "The Holy Grail" show that body recomp can be more satisfying.

Can anyone give a well-thought-out opinion on which is better?
