Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss
For my online clients my focus is on fat loss, not weight loss. I could easily drop calories low and have my clients lose weight quickly, however, I don’t do that. 😳
I want them to lose fat, not muscle, so the process I use is different and so are their overall results, happiness and health markers. Altering their body composition favorably rather than focusing on how much weight we can lose.
Have you ever done a diet and just gained the weight back, maybe even more? Each time you do that you are losing muscle as well as fat. The weight that comes back on is, unfortunately, fat, and the muscle is gone.
Weight Loss Focused:
Weight loss focused protocols tend to focus on how many calories you can burn through cardio and what foods you should eliminate, leaving you with a depleted version of yourself with no muscle mass and loose skin. 🥺
While you can lose weight using these protocols, it’s rarely sustainable and brings a host of negative side effects. Have you ever done a diet and just gained the weight back, maybe even more? Each time you do that you are losing muscle as well as fat. The weight that comes back on is, unfortunately, fat, and the muscle is gone.
*Scale weight focused
*Cuts calories/macros across
the board too low
*Only looks at weight
*Loss of muscle in addition to fat
*Decreased muscle mass
*Decreased metabolism
*Cardio focused
*Decrease in energy
*Eliminating foods or food groups
*Increase in hunger/cravings
*Insufficient vitamins and minerals
*Difficult to maintain
*Rebound weight gain (all fat)
By focusing on fat loss, the results may be slower but they are sustainable, we are literally shrinking your body, so who cares what the scale says? Biofeedback markers greatly improve, things like sleep, digestion, moods and energy. And, you won’t be miserable from being in such a low calorie deficit. Your results are easily sustainable after you alter your body composition.
Fat loss focuses on eating as many nutrient dense calories as possible (NOT eliminating food groups) to encourage fat loss while building muscle through weight training to get that tight and toned body you are looking for. 😍
