The Difference Between Weight Loss And Fat Loss

A lot of people confuse losing weight with losing fat. When someone
says "I want to lose weight" general what they actually mean is that
they want to lose fat. You never hear anybody say that they want to
lose their lean muscle, right? It is important to understand that
there is a big difference between losing weight and losing fat and
then to work toward losing fat instead.
Weight loss is a general term that can describe any type of weight
that you lose from your body. This can include loss of muscle, loss of
water weight or fat loss. A lot of times when people lose weight they
actually just lose muscle mass and water weight, which doesn't give
them the body that they want. Have you ever known someone who is what
I like to refer to as "skinny fat?" This person may be very thin, but
they still don't look good naked because despite their relatively
small size they still have a high percentage of body fat.
Fat loss, on the other hand, specifically refers to losing fat from
your body rather than lean muscle mass or water weight. When most
people say they want to lose weight, what they really mean is that
they want to lose fat. By losing fat, your body will become sleek and
toned which is a much sexier look than being thin with a high body fat
percentage. After all, your goal should not just be to be thin, but
also to have a great body that you can be proud of ....
