Description

In this week's podcast episode, I explain the key difference between weight loss and fat loss. Understanding this distinction will prevent unnecessary worry when embarking on a fitness journey and noticing that your weight isn't changing as expected.

Weight loss and fat loss are often used interchangeably but refer to different processes in the body. Weight loss generally refers to a reduction in overall body weight, which can include loss of water weight, muscle mass, and fat mass.

 On the other hand, fat loss specifically targets the reduction of body fat while preserving lean muscle mass. Achieving fat loss typically involves a combination of healthy eating, regular exercise, and strength training to promote fat burning and maintain muscle tissue. It's important to focus on fat loss rather than just weight loss to achieve a leaner and healthier body composition, as preserving muscle mass supports metabolism and overall physical function.
