Fat Loss OR Weight Loss? Why The Focus Should Always Be Fat Loss

"I want to lose some weight."

Weight loss is a popular topic in modern times. One of the reasons is because a lot of people suffer from diseases and health issues directly related to their weight. Heart disease, strokes, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, liver and kidney disease, pregnancy complications, fatigue, osteoarthritis (which involves joint pain and stiffness) and immobility are some of the most common weight-related complications in our society.

Another reason for the topic's popularity is for the improvement of self-image and self-esteem. Feelings such as low self-esteem, low self-acceptance, depression, social awkwardness and shame can be signs of discomfort or dissatisfaction with an unacceptable weight category (overweight).

Whatever the reason, people around the world aspire to achieve some form of fitness that involves "losing weight".

But is there a right way and a wrong way to approach this ambition? The answer is YES.
