Fat Loss Vs Weight Loss



Most people use a term called weight loss which is not correct or appropriate. You are not suppose to lose weight, losing weight is a different thing. Anybody can lose weight You just don't eat. You will lose weight, unfortunately, the weight you lose will be both muscle and fat. Losing weight means losing fat as well as muscles and muscle loss is not good for you, it will make you weak. You are only suppose to lose fat . "Fat loss" is the correct term you should use.

The goal to successful weight loss is to preserve as much muscle as possible, or possibly even gain some, while at the same time lose as much body fat as possible.






Muscle plays a very important role in losing fat. Muscles have these little fat burning powerhouses called mitochondria.  Mitochondria are cellular power plants that are responsible for the production of energy. It’s in the mitochondria that fat is metabolized. There is a positive correlation between the amount of muscle you have and the number of mitochondria. And it stands to reason that the more mitochondria you have, the more the potential to burn fat.

















[ Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities.]

The best thing about muscle and mitochondria is that they are active tissue. Unlike fat, they need constant energy to maintain themselves.  – energy like fatty acids. It means that your body will be burning fat at all times of the day – even while you’re sleeping. You can burn fat in your sleep, and that is how the Mitochondria works.

How do you get more Mitochondria ?

By creating a large demand for energy up and above what your body can already produce, your body is forced to create new mitochondria in order to be prepared for the next time your muscles call on that needed extra energy.

* Performing high intensity exercise  HIIT training is just one of the best methods.
* Weight training.

How To Preserve Muscle While Losing Fat ?

If your goal is fat loss, You need to focus on preserving muscle while losing fat. People tend to sabotage their diets by eating too little food and too few nutrients resulting in muscle loss.
To prevent muscle loss, make sure you are are giving your body proper nutrition.
Always remember that nutrition is the key.

  1. I believe what has been stated above is apparently correct and is well supported by biological data and stats. Hopefully it will help people in shaping their mindset towards achieving fat loss correctly rather than just losing weight by improper practices. Thank you very much.

Nutrition: Foods to Avoid

Like training / exercise, diet (nutrition) is a vital part for your body. Eating the right foods in the appropriate amounts provides your body with the nutrients they need. Conversely, consuming the wrong foods or not consuming enough of the right ones will leave you with subpar results. Here are foods you should avoid: These include: Alcohol: Alcohol  can negatively affect your ability to build muscle and lose fat, especially if you consume it in excess. Added sugars:  These offer plenty of calories but few nutrients. Foods high in added sugars include candy, cookies, doughnuts, ice cream, cake and sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda and sports drink. Some oils that are used for cooking:  These may promote inflammation and when consumed in excess they become the cause of chronic disease. Especially these oils  soybean oil. corn oil. cottonseed oil. sunflower oil. sesame oil. rice bran oil. Instead use these as a healthy option...

Everything you need to know about Protein

Protein is a nutrient your body needs to grow and repair cells and to work properly. Protein is found in a wide range of food and it’s important that you get enough protein in your diet every day.  Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. There are about 20 different amino acids that link together in different combinations to form a complete protein. Your body uses them to make, muscle and bone, and other compounds such as enzymes and hormones. Some amino acids can be made by your body – there are 11 of these and they’re known as non-essential amino acids. There are 9 amino acids that your body cannot make, and they are known as essential amino acids.  Nutritional value of protein : The nutritional value of a protein is measured by the quantity of amino acids it contains. Different foods contain different amounts of amino acids. Animal products (such as chicken, meat, fish and dairy products) have all of the essential ami...

Fruit Sugar Vs Refined Sugar

Refined sugar vs Fruit sugar Sucrose vs Fructose With so many different diets and sources of nutrition advise, it can be very difficult to separate fact from fiction -Especially when it comes to fruit ( fruit sugar ). Fruit sugar is called fructose. Table sugar is called sucrose. Sucrose Absorption: Sucrose is a disaccharide, it must be broken down before your body can use it. Enzymes in your mouth partially break down sucrose into glucose and fructose. However, the majority of sugar digestion happens in the small intestine. The enzyme sucrase, which is made by the lining of your small intestine, splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. They are then absorbed into your bloodstream. The presence of glucose increases the amount of fructose that is absorbed and also stimulates the release of insulin. This means that more fructose is used to create fat, compared to when this type of sugar is eaten alone. Therefore, eating fructose and glucose together may harm ...
