Weight Loss VS Fat Loss

Everybody wanna lose weight, but what you should really want is to lose fat.

I’m gonna be brutally honest, losing weight is EASY. All you have to do is participate in a crash or starvation diet.

But what you really should do is lose fat. Losing fat has many more benefits than losing weight. An individual can lose weight and still look sloppy. In addition, you may lose the weight but not the weight you want. The weight you wanna keep is muscle weight and the one of course you wanna lose is fat weight.

Weight Loss

Aerobic exercise helps you burn off fat calories by making your muscles work harder than usual for limited periods of time. Strength training exercises, on the other hand, help you burn off fat by increasing your body's supply of muscle tissue. This works because muscle tissue burns through calories relatively quickly, and increasing the size of your muscles amplifies your body's calorie-burning capacity. Participation in either aerobics or strength training can lead to weight loss. However, muscle tissue is also quite heavy, and individuals who lose fat through strength training can potentially gain weight despite depleting their fat reserves.

Fat Loss

Each pound of fat on your body comprises roughly 3,500 calories of food energy. To lose this fat, you will need to burn off more calories than you consume in your daily diet. Normally, this goal is most easily achieved by making reductions in your calorie intake and increasing the amount of exercise you get each week. You can lower your calorie total by eating less food or choosing foods that contain fewer calories. You can increase your activity level by participating regularly in moderate forms of aerobic exercise, such as biking or brisk walking, or by participating regularly in strength training exercises such as weightlifting and body weight exercises or calisthenics. Strength training is KEY to obtaining fat loss.
