Fat Loss
Definition: The reduction of body fat through a sustained calorie deficit combined with resistance training and adequate protein intake. Differs from 'weight loss' because the goal is preserving muscle while losing only fat.
Detailed Explanation
Fat loss is the reduction of body fat while preserving muscle mass. This is different from general weight loss, which can include the loss of valuable muscle and water.
Practical Application & Guide
Combine a moderate calorie deficit with structured resistance training and high protein intake to ensure the weight you lose comes from fat, not muscle.
Common Pitfalls & Mistakes
Doing excessive cardio and starving yourself to drop weight quickly, which strips away muscle and lowers your metabolic rate.
