Weight Loss versus Fat Loss: Unlocking the Body of Your Dreams- Part II

By: Jason Yun

In part I, I talked about the main differences on weather you are going to go for weight or fat loss. Today, I’m going to talk about certain aspects of nutrition related to each. For those of you that don’t know, nutrition is even more important for fat loss than actual exercise. But don’t get me wrong they are both very important. And when you combine both in the right combinations and add rest/recovery into the mix you can turn your body into a fat burning furnace 24/7.

But first we’ll talk about some of the reasons why people fail on a weight loss diet. First off the calories are way too low. People think that in order to lose weight all they have to do is cut the calories. You think to yourself ‘If eating too much made me put on this weight, then to lose it, I just need to reduce what I’m eating.’ WRONG! This will put you into starvation mode, even if you aren’t hungary, your body is starving. You are more prone to add whatever you eat as fat, and you are losing muscle, and your metabolism is slowing down.
