The individual will lose mostly lean body tissue.

Answer 1

4. The individual will lose mostly lean body tissue.

Step-by-step explanation:

The non-fat part of the body is called lean mass and includes muscle, water, bones and organs. The more lean mass we have, the greater metabolic expenditure we will have at rest since it is the part of our body that burns calories throughout the day for our body to function properly.

In weight loss the first thing that occurs is a loss of fluids, hence it seems to produce a rapid result, but what is really happening is that we are deflating.
