Lose Fat NOT Lose Weight

Lose Fat NOT Lose Weight

1. Our body is made of muscle, fat and water. Water is the main component, because almost 70% of our body is made of water.

2. Many people will do anything, from skipping meals to exercising and watching what they eat to attain their dream figure.

3. What is the difference between losing fat and losing weight? Losing fat means, all endeavors are geared towards losing fat only whereas losing weight means one loses not only fat, but also muscle and water.

4. It is very unhealthy to lose too much water and muscle. Yes, one can lose 5 or 6 kgs or more within days, but that will be mainly muscle and water, and very little of fat, which should the prime target.

5. When someone put effort to lose weight, the result will be from big pear or apple to smaller pear or apple shape body. THIS IS NOT THE AIM OF PEOPLE!

6. People who lose weight will in the end gain more weight from when they started weight lost program. This is because they lost muscle and water, and when they return to normal diet, they end up storing fat instead of muscle.

7. It’s the dream and hope people to attain dream figure, be it hour glass or V shape. As such, one should put effort on losing fat and not losing weight.

8. Since muscle is heavier than fat, someone with more muscle will be heavier although he or she may look slimmer than those who are lighter in weight. The example given next may illustrate this scenario: one kg of iron is definitely smaller in size when compared to 100 gram of cotton although iron is heavier here. As such, someone with less fat at 60 may have dream figure whereas those with more fat at same weight of 60 kg may look chubbier or fatter.

9. Ladies will never have to worry of developing bulging muscles as they don’t have enough testosterone hormones. On the contrary, they can always look forward to a beautiful figure if they followed proper fat loss program.

10. Have enough muscle is very important as it needs lots of calories for maintenance, thus muscle maintenance will ensure fat burning, thereby, less fat is stored in body.

11. Slimming programs that causes muscle depletion, in long run, or earlier, will cause one to regain whatever lost fat and it will be much harder to lose fat in future.
