Difference between fat loss and weight loss

Is your goal of losing weight or losing fat?
I’ve seen a lot of people say I have to lose 5 kg in a month or so or there are people saying that I have been seeing results in inches but the weighing scale showing still the same.

what is actually the difference between weight loss and fat loss?
well in this Article I’ll try to explain the meaning and the real difference between these two.
when we say we have to lose weight you can do that easily just stop eating or starve yourself you will lose weight but unfortunately, the weight you have been losing could be the fat mass, muscle mass, water weight, etc.

our body weight is the sum of the weight of your muscles, your bones, your organs and the amount of water your body retains. Weight loss is the sum loss of your total weight which can be from fat loss muscle loss or water weight loss
was as fat loss
As the term suggests, it is the loss of the fat that your body carries.
losing weight doesn’t always mean you are fit.

Let me explain with an example there is person A and B both weigh the same say 60kgs and their height is also same say 168 cms but A is leaner than B. What could be the possible reason behind this? Well the possible reason behind this is the muscle mass of A is more than muscle mass of B and the fat mass of B is more than the fat mass of A. Hence, weight is just a number and does not indicate that you are going in a right direction. The main change we should be looking for is the body composition of the person. The real indicator of fitness is the body fat percentage of the particular person. The real indicator of fitness is the body fat percentage of the particular person.
hence our goal should be lowering the body fat percentage and maintaining or minimum loss of the muscle mass at the same time.

Now the question arises how do we do that?
The answer is by
– Eating on a small caloric deficit
yes in order to lose fat you have to eat on a calorie deficit but too much deficit can lead to loss of muscle along with the fat loss a caloric deficit of 300 -400 is good. however, eating way too less like 800 or 1000 cal deficit is not good.
-Eating an adequate amount of protein as per your body weight in order to maintain the muscle mass. Eat food with a complete Protein profile. Divide it in such a way that every meal has some portion of protein with a complete profile.
– Opt for high-intensity interval training and weight training instead of cardio.

So the main point here is that your goal should be changing your lifestyle i.e healthy living making healthy choices rather than just focusing on losing some amount of weight in a particular period of time. It is a lifetime thing. Following fad diets will make you lose weight faster but it is not sustainable also not a healthy way to lose weight. #shefitandfine
