Why do I gain weight so fast?

How to permanently lose weight?

What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss?

Well, there is in fact a very important one that everyone should understand. This newsletter is especially necessary for people trying out all kinds of fad diets just to lose some extra kilos.

Now, let’s say that I desperately want to see the number on the scale going down and I’m ready to do anything for it. Thus, I start taking laxatives. Laxatives do help me get rid of body water and the number on the scale will go down as well. However, that is not fat loss but just weight loss.

Today, there are multiple different ways in the world to reduce weight, but that’s not really fat loss. Like chemotherapy, for instance, can also reduce weight. If you start regular chemo sessions, your weight will go down. But why would you expose yourself to drugs and radiation? Smoking helps in weight loss too. But would you ever suggest anyone to pick up smoking to lose weight?

True fat- loss only happens with lifestyle changes. Watch this to understand:

What you need to focus on is fat loss.

Fat loss is when you are breaking down triglycerides or fat cells in your body. It is a much more permanent solution than just weight loss. A few days of travelling and eating outside will not lead to weight gain when you lose fat. A few cheat meals or missed fitness sessions should do no harm to your body.

Fad diets like Keto diet and Atkins diet that help you with weight loss, just help you to get rid of body water. These will give you a temporary difference in the scale that bounces back soon.

Therefore, focus on fat loss and not on weight loss. The right nutrition, right amount of training and a few important lifestyle changes are some essential steps to lose fat.
