Tips for Getting to 8% Body Fat

If you're already relatively lean (around 12-13% body fat), here are some tips for getting to 8% body fat. Take it slow and steady to maintain as much muscle mass as possible. Eat higher protein and fiber-rich foods to stay full. Consider a shortened eating window or intermittent fasting. Prioritize sleep for optimal recovery. Assess your progress and take breaks if needed. Remember that it's a gradual process and individual results may vary.
