WEIGHT LOSS vs FAT LOSS!

Weight loss is always a hot topic, everyone wants to “lose weight”. But in reality what you really want to lose is body fat.

Let me break it down…

  • Weight Loss. You want to lower your body-weight, the weight of your bones, muscles, organs, body fat, …
  • Fat Loss. You want to lower your body fat, the amount of fat your body carries.

With weight loss…

  • Your body-weight can fluctuate daily since it’s influenced by your stomach/bowel/bladder content, water loss/retention, muscle loss/gain, fat loss/gain, … You’ll have no idea what’s going on. Take a poop…you’ll lose a pound!
  • 2 people with similar height can weigh the same, but look completely different because one has lower body fat than the the other.

To promote actual Fat loss… Build muscle!

  • Get Stronger. Strength training builds muscle & prevents muscle loss. In addition, your met rate is directly related to how much muscle you have
  • Eat Healthy. Eat whole unprocessed foods 90% of the time.

Bottom line, LIFT WEIGHTS and EAT HEALTHY!
