The Difference Between Weight Loss And Fat Loss

Many seem to believe that weight loss and fat are synonymous in meaning. This is common among victims of this disorder and dietitians alike. This piece will however provide clear differences between both terms. It will also provide answers to why you should not diet (skip meals). Firstly, as you read through, you'll be seeing the terms "burning fat", "losing fat", or "melting fat". They mean the same thing BUT, losing fat is not the same as losing weight. Anybody can lose weight. When you fast or skip meals, your weight drops - you are not burning fat, just painfully losing your muscle and water from your body. Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. You must learn to distinguish between the two. The scale can be very misleading if it's the only criteria you use for measurement. For example, a woman could weigh 50kg and have 33% body fat. That's what I call a skinny fat person. In contrast, a female bodybuilder could weigh 65kg and be quite lean, with body fat as 14%. With this in mind, your goal should never be weight loss. Your goal should be losing fat while 
maintaining muscle. Your muscle is the engine that 
controls fat loss. Secondly, When you starve yourself or skip meals, you 
also starve the muscle. When you starve the muscle, you 
lose muscle along with the fat. When you lose muscle, your metabolism slows down and your 
body enters the starvation mode. When your body enters 
starvation mode, fat loss comes to a STOP as your body 
tries to conserve its energy. When the fat loss stops, you both give up (and gain 
back all the fat you lost), or you grit your teeth and 
drop your calories (starve yourself) even more.  If you drop your calories even more, your metabolism slows 
down even more.  And if your metabolism slows down even more, 
fat loss comes to a screeching STOP again.  Eventually, you will end up frustrated and worried why
dropping your calories or skipping meals is not giving you 
the results you need. You will remain fat, irrespective of doing the things
above. If you want to get results, you will have to change the way
you perceive dieting. And no, you don't have to fast to lose
weight, instead you will do the opposite, eat more. But wait, doesn't eating more food cause weight gain? You ask! Yes, it does. But, there is a way to eat more that allow
you to lose all the fat you have gathered all your life.

How? You ask!

In 2 days time, I shall be opening your eyes to a special
way of eating up to 5 times while losing more fat than you
have ever lost in your entire life.
