Weight Loss vs Fat Loss!!!
October 1, 2025
I think by now it’s obvious…we as a society have a serious health problem. The #1 problem is obesity. Yes, we’re FAT! Just about every serious health condition stems from being Over Fat NOT Overweight!
Here’s the problem. You go to the doctor and he/she tells you, according to the BMI index, which measures height vs weight (not a reliable measure of one’s health) that you need to lose weight. They’re trying not to hurt your feelings by telling you that you need to lose weight instead of fat. So, now you’re thinking, how am I going to lose weight.
So, you investigate how to lose weight. You’ll find there’s many options. There are “weight loss clinics’ and “weight loss drugs”. Here’s the problem, they are only interested in you losing weight. They don’t care where the weight comes from. And of course, when you see the weight go down, you’re euphoric. You think it’s working great. But here’s the kicker…anytime you starve the body of the necessary nutrients AND calories, the body will lose muscle tissue and store FAT. So, the weight that you’re losing is almost always muscle tissue. Fat is your bodies way of protecting you. It’s easy to lose muscle but hard to lose fat – Period!
So, whether you’re on a low-calorie diet or taking weight loss pills or even doctor recommended injections, you’re going to experience short term weight loss but soon after that you’re going to lose strength, reduce your metabolism and develop other symptoms of poor health. I’ve seen this for nearly 40 years. I’ve helped thousands of people reverse the effects of poor fad diets by educating them on how to improve the way they consume food and how to improve their “real” metabolism.
Look, I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings either but I’m also serious about helping my clients get truly healthy and enjoy the rest of their lives.
