Nutrition/Fat Loss

[Gun]

When talking about losing weight, losing fat weight is only perceivable by the appearance of tonality. The
emphasis should not be on overall weight, because if one incorporates physical activity, along with diet, to
lose excess fat, muscle will be gained, thus keeping one at or near their overall weight at the start of the
program. This would not be necessary true for obese people, since losing water during exercise can show
some overall weight loss immediately.

Basically, one is sculpting their body, so a 180 lb person with 30% BF, can end up weighing 175 lb, with 12
to 15% BF, and would need to buy tighter fitting clothes.

No need for a scale when your clothes are a good indicator. Obviously this doesn’t apply to body builders.

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, people that need to lose a lot of weight/fat just care about the scale. Then as they start to see the results, then they actually start to listen and realize that it is all about fat, not actual weight.
