What you can do to encourage fat loss vs weight loss

In comparison to weight loss, inch loss means you are losing fat.

To measure your weight loss more accurately it is important to understand your body composition.

You can do this by measuring yourself regularly so you can monitor your inch loss, not just your weight loss.

Here are some ways you can encourage your fat loss:

Cardio is important for heart health but too much cardio burns muscle. Avoid steady state cardio like running for long periods and opt instead for interval training.

Weight training helps not only prevent muscle loss but also reduces your body fat percentage.

This doesn’t mean crash dieting or having a massive calorie deficit. Eat a clean diet high in protein to prevent muscle loss with a moderate amount of carbs for energy. Avoid processed and sugary foods.

Note: Muscle weighs more than fat so you may slim down without seeing a significant change in the numbers on the scale.
