How to lose weight fast

Weight or body fat?

When someone says that they want to lose weight, they usually mean that they want to lose fat.

Imagine two people that weigh the same.

One is an elite sprinter and the other an elite Netflix and Doritos binger.

Same weight but vastly differing body fat compositions and health risk.

If you weigh 160 pounds and are 20% fat, it means that your body consists of 32 pounds of fat and 128 pounds of lean body mass (which is bone, muscle, organ tissue, blood and everything else).

That person who's body you admire from afar may look slim but in fact, they could still have an unhealthy body fat percentage and be at risk of getting diabetes and heart disease.

Which means it's not the weight we want to lose, it's body fat.
