Diet Or Fat Loss - Significant Differences Fat And Lose Weight Healthy

By: ronny999 Home | Health-and-Fitness


When you step on your bathroom scale every morning, what will be the reading of the scale is weight loss and not fat loss. Bathroom scales are never accurate in determining fat loss.

Why? Because the measures of its total weight, not body fat by itself. If you weigh in the morning before breakfast after your bowel movement, you will probably get your lowest reading of the day because your body is dehydrated through hours of non fluid replenishment when sleeping and after emptying your bowels, more water and debris are washed away to the point that they are lighter than they are. After a night of sleep and not eating anything, your carbohydrate store is running low, and therefore it is lighter without the stored carbohydrate known as glycogen. What happened then? You not only lose weight! The fat of your body is still there, while the weight of other substances such as glycogen, wastes, water is scarce, and so on.

Now go back weight after dinner when it is fully replenished through meals and consumption of water and may be surprised that you may probably weigh 2kg or more weight and that is at least 4.4 pounds ! Just gained weight or even fat! Now you can see that is a misnomer when people think weight loss and fat loss are the same thing.

You should know why the difference? Because for most of us, especially those in the fat to lose fat and do not necessarily want to lose weight. Getting the drift?

Now, for the most important part. Simple lose weight can cause loss of muscle and, in turn, make you gain body fat later. Yes, it is ironic. This is because the greater muscle mass you have, rather than burn fat efficiently because muscle is active tissue and the calories it needs to operate. Body fat sitting there doing nothing and thus do not burn calories on its own. Therefore, the less muscle you have, the fewer calories your body will burn. The lowest number of calories the body burns more calories to be stored in the finished body fat! Therefore, it is important to lose fat but not limited to weight loss that can include loss of muscle tissue.

How is it possible that a person may lose muscle on a weight loss program? Well for a start, we commonly hear about people going on this diet and the diet. Most diets demand a severe restriction of food or calorie intake. Your body then the signal to your mind that you are in a starvation mode and your body is designed to store fat for the impending famine and muscle energy use in their daily activities.

Some argue for a severe reduction of dietary carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are your body's primary source of energy. When your body is depleted of carbohydrates, becomes your protein (muscles) and body fat indiscriminately for energy. Now, to make matters worse, due to restriction of carbohydrate consumed, there will be fewer carbohydrate calories to be used as energy calories and that the signal again, starting again the way of starvation . The vicious cycle of your body cannibalizing its own muscle starts again. The same applies to people on slimming pills or salon fat loss programs.

So some people say well, Chris, I see your point, so I will just do a lot of cardio exercises to lose weight. Another serious error. Have you ever wondered why marathon runners, who run many kilometers often and are doing cardio exercises almost everyday are so skinny with no muscle tone? Because your body is a wonderful machine. It is designed to adapt. When you run or skip or swim long enough, that is, look, I better light so you can take the stress better and improve endurance. Guess what? Your muscles are heavier than fats and what is going to throw her body more when you want more light? Muscle or fat? His body, but to shed even more muscle to fat.

Anyway, why would you like to lose weight only to become a little more than the same body shape without muscle tone? Why would you like in a weight loss program that eats your muscles and reduce your fat burning rate so that when you are out of the program, the fats come piling back?

Therefore, while you are on a lose weight program, it must also be in a muscle building program. This will mean a combination of proper eating habits, cardiovascular exercises and weightlifting exercises to maintain muscle preservation and a fat loss result.

From now on, tell the people in a fat loss program and not a lose weight program. That is a correct eating habit instead of just dieting.

With the distinction clearly in mind, you know how to lose fat effectively, preserve and grow muscle while losing weight on your bathroom scale. That would be an ideal way to achieve their goal due to the loss of weight to lose body fat and muscle instead of mere body wastes.
