Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss by Vernita Sherman

know, exercising while consuming a small calorie intake just

makes the situation worse. This is because when you exercise,

you start burning off more energy and the more you workout, the

more energy your body needs. I already told you above where

the energy comes from, and if you do not give your body the

energy it needs, it will just feed on your muscles even quicker

now that you are exercising. So eat more food! In addition

to this, when you cut down too much on your calorie intake,

your body will start storing calories because it doesn’t know

when you will eat again. The calories that are stored will be

stored as fat. So in other words, when your body is storing

energy, it’s basically storing more fat.

To summarize my point: Not eating enough calories results in

muscle loss, dehydration, slower fat burning, and your body

will always adapt to a lower calorie intake.

Bottom Line: if you can’t maintain that lower calorie intake

for the rest of your life, you will gain your weight back

when you get tired of starving yourself!

To lose weight properly (burning fat) you must increase your

metabolism (weight training) and your need for oxygen (aerobics)

while eating enough calories each day (nutritious diet) to

give you energy and maintain the protein in your muscles because

protein helps build muscles, which indirectly burns fat. This

brings up another good point: When you build muscle your weight

will increase because your muscles are made up of mostly water,

but your body fat percentage will decrease because building

muscles increase your metabolism (in other words, muscles way

more than fat, but take up less space than fat). So keep in mind

that losing body fat can’t be measured by a scale; use a

measuring tape and also look at yourself in the mirror, and then

you will see the true results. One of the best ways to know if

you are losing more body fat than water is by using a body fat

analyzer.

Make sure that you focus on fat loss not weight loss. Your goal

should be to lose weight by burning fat, not losing water from

your muscles. Remember this when you choose your weight loss

program.
