WEIGHT LOSS v/s FAT LOSS

WEIGHT LOSS (does it actually matter?)

When we talk about weight loss, we actually talk about the loss of muscles ,organs ,water ,body fat ,bones ,etc. Our body weight is the sum total of all these.Body weight never remains stable, it keeps fluctuating everyday, we have no idea whats happening inside us. To understand this we need to think it this way, suppose if we don't eat for the whole day , we'll weigh less! right? and if we eat something heavy or even if we drink a lot of water, we'll weigh more! Now, how can we rely on weight loss?, in fact, if we try and find out, their are people who may have the same body weight but my look completely different from each other, one looks fit but the other looks fat! This is because, the one looking fit ,weighs that much because of his muscle weight and has low body fat, whereas on the other hand, the one looking heavy has more amount of body fat.
    
                  We need to understand that, eating less(cutting on carbs,proteins,essential fats,etc) may help us to loose weight , but is it actually the weight loss? no, its the water loss.If you start eating up what you stopped earlier, you'll gain back all that you lost! So, is it really healthy and helpful?! 
            Its time to talk about the solution! How can we truly attain fitness? Here's  your answer!

                   TARGET FAT LOSS!

All we need to focus on is ,the amount of fat our body carries.We actually need to loose body fat than loosing body weight! It has been found that ,males attain fitness when the have 14-17% of body fat, where as in females it is 21-24%. 
            Loosing fat involves an equilibrium between healthy eating and proper weight training or other healthy workouts. Weight training helps us to loose body fat and gain muscles. Fat loss makes you stronger! how amazing is that! When we get into a weight training or strength training program, we may not find much difference when we measure ourselves on a weighing machine. No need to feel discouraged! The best way to track your body fat is trough a fat caliper,or click before and after pictures and above all , your cloth fitting is the most amazing way to keep a check on your progress! But, remember! not to measure your weight daily. 
               So guys, the key to a fit body is to get stronger and eat healthier!
