Fat Weight Loss

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss? Which of the two is recommended more than the other?
   I was under the impression that fat loss leads to weight loss or vice versa but it seems both are different. Can anyone explain the difference??
   and I want to get any advise/tips for fat/weight loss... thank you

   • ANSWER:
     The difference is whether you are losing fat or muscle mass. By exercising when you are losing weight you will be sure to lose the body fat and not the muscle mass. You have to exercise at least 4 times a week. You need to cut all soda and junk foods from your diet not completely or you will feel like you are being punished. Use these things as a once in a while treat. You also need to put fresh vegetables and fruits into your diet along with whole grains. Cut out white bread and add stone ground wheat bread. You must drink plenty of water to help flush toxins out of your system. Don't be in a hurry to lose the weight all at once it is not healthy. You didn't gain it over night you can't expect to loose it over night. If you fall off the diet one day don't dash the diet altogether it is only one day and you are only human. Tomorrow just start over. Good Luck

2. QUESTION:
   How can i increase weight (fat) loss and muscle growth?
   I work out everyday and burn about 500 calories while biking, and running. I lift weights to help my arms build muscle, but not a lot of weight, maybe about 10 lbs each arm.
   i eat a normal healthy diet, i don't wanna starve myself.
   How can i increase fat loss and weight gain without really trying?
   thanks

   • ANSWER:
     You have to try.. If you want to gain muscle mass you need to be working with heavier weights 10lbs wont do much

3. QUESTION:
   How can you measure weight loss and body fat loss?
   We have a contest going at work, sort of like Biggest Loser. Six women, four of them between 154-180 lbs and two of them between 250-300 lbs. What is a fair way to make the contest without giving advantage to heavier women? If we have a set weight loss then it wouldn't be fair because fatter people lose weight faster and easier, but if we do it as a percentage it would kind of be the same thing.
   resources or ideas?

   • ANSWER:
     Body fat loss is the same problem as weight loss - those who only have a little to lose are going to have a lot worse of a time.

     Percentage of your total weight would be the best. Then someone who weighs 300lbs would have to lose 2lbs for it to be equivalent to the woman weighing 150lbs losing 1lb.

     Have you considered teams and not individual winners? A bit of competition to help motivate you is great, but having two teams of 3 means each person has 2 other people really rooting for them to lose the weight and helping them stick to it. I think % loss of weight for the whole group would even it out a bit (between the smaller and larger women trying to lose weight), and yet keep it competitive and make sure both teams have a fair chance of winning.

5. QUESTION:
   Is the weight loss fat or muscle?
   I recently took a week long break from my training and have seemed to have lost weight? About a week ago I weighed 155 lbs and was doing HIIT and weight lifting on alternate days. I was busy all week last week because of school stresses. Now after about a week of doing almost nothing, I weighed myself at about 150 lbs? I know that scales aren't the most effective way to gauge oneself, but was this fat loss or muscle loss?

   • ANSWER:
     Good news and bad news. Bad news, it was muscle. Good news, because you took that break and gave your body a rest, when you go to work out again it will be easy to gain lost muscle back and more. Your muscles have a memory of their own, so if you constantly exercise, they will be used to it. But when you take breaks, your muscles "forget" what they are doing and need to work even harder. So if you push yourself and take advantage of theses next few days working out again, you will be stronger than before.

6. QUESTION:
   Does strength training until muscle failure along with higher sets cause fat loss or weight loss?
   Which one does it do more of?.... Weight loss or Fat loss?

   • ANSWER:
     It will reduce fat in the long run, but increase muscle mass. So your body will get toned, but weight will be same due to increased muscle.

7. QUESTION:
   How should I use the treadmill for optimal fat and weight loss?
   How should I use the treadmill for optimal fat and weight loss? How many mph hour should I go and for how many minutes? Can I do this every day?
   I am currently on a 1200 healthy diet. I watch what I need.
   I am a female and about 5’9 tall. I need to lose about 15-20 lbs to be at my ideal body weight.
   How long will it take me to achieve my goal with my diet, cardio, and some weights?

   • ANSWER:
     You might not believe this, but if you stick to a healthy dietary habits by eating small meals throughout the day like every 3 hours, protein shakes and copious amounts of water you will lose body fat and maintain size. Things like bread and pasta should be kept to a minimum, they are still needed and are good if you need that extra energy to get through a workout. Just don't over do them! Losing muscle mass occurs when you are on a 'diet' that denies your body the nutrients needed to sustain strength. You can also take some of the supplements on this site to help speed up your weight loss. http://aeleevo.notlong.com

8. QUESTION:
   when do you actually notice fat/weight loss?
   like in the morning? or as soon as you workout

   i know it takes time...but when does the fat loss actually occur?

   • ANSWER:
     The fat loss occurs when you start burning extra calories.
     Depending on your habits and exercise, itll take at least 2-4 weeks to see results.
     One pound is 3500 calories. It'll take 7-10 pounds to actually see the difference in before and after.

9. QUESTION:

11. QUESTION:
    What is the most accurate way to measure weight/fat loss progress?
    Measuring weight is very inaccurate, I've found, due to fluctuations caused by water intake. Is there a better way? Should I take the average of a week?

    • ANSWER:
      Water immersion testing I think is the most accurate way to test your body fat but youd have to go through a doctor.. so stuff that :p

      next best way would be to goto a chemist and grab some calipers which basically grab the loose fat and measure it.. u can then calculate your bf%

      this is a guide to using them once u have a pair

12. QUESTION:
    How many calories should i be eating for maximum fat/weight loss?
    Im 203lbs 5'11, 20 years old. I was 198 after losing 50 pounds, but gained 5 back. My medicine caused hunger, but im off it now and ready to take control again. I'll be exercising between 30-50 mins 5 times per week. I do tae-bo videos because i have anxiety disorder to go outside and exercise much. Would 1800 calories be good? 1500? I want to be 185

    • ANSWER:
      1700-1800 of mostly protein is just about right. Any lower than that and you may find yourself getting hungry which will soften your resolve.

      Keep in mind, when you are done controlling calorie intake you will gain 3-5 pounds right away. It usually just water so don't fret.

      Gain any more than that and you need to reduce your calorie intake again. There will be alittle back and forth until you find a good equilibrium.

      Your last 10 will be the hardest, so dont give up, even when you don't seem to be moving anywhere.

13. QUESTION:
    Friends and i want to have a fat/weight loss challenge, what measure should we use?
    We are unsure what measure to you use to judge who is the winner. Some of the people are men some are women. None of us are the same body size. I will personally be lifting weights and running where i think some of the others are just going for weight loss. what method or measure should we use to determine a winner?

    • ANSWER:
      Well...I would say that recording body fat % of each person and comparing that is a great way to measure the results. Go get body fat % tested at a well equipped gym or health/fitness doctor. The person that reduces body fat the most wins!

14. QUESTION:

    after how many runs should i expect to see weight/fat loss??
    I've just started going for runs each day (only 2 so far.. but i"m hoping I can keep it up!) and I was just wondering how many runs I'll have to do before I start to see any weight loss and fat loss?

    I know that I'll probably gain a little muscle weight to begin with, but when will I start to notice my leg, face and stomach fat start to disappear??

    I'm running about 5km per run/day.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on your diet, your current size/weight, your metabolism, etc. Its really impossible to give you an honest answer with the information provided.

      If you eat healthy foods, avoid fried foods and carbs and drink plenty of water you may begin to notice changes in your size within a week or two...you might take 3 or 4 weeks to really notice a change in your weight though.

16. QUESTION:
    does stawberry and orange juice make you burn fat or loss weight?
    i just made fresh strawberrys and orange juice can that burn fat ?or make me loss weight? because i've been tryinq to get a flat tummy?

    • ANSWER:
      I havent heard of that so it's probably not true. It has calories in it but the juice will have lots of vitamins in it and so might boost immune system but help you loose weight? The only way you can loose weight is by calorie counting. Don't use tablets I bet they don't work and they cost a fortune. Good luck.

17. QUESTION:

18. QUESTION:
    Does loosing body fat cause weight loss?
    I know lower body fat means more muscle, but does loosing it cause any weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      If you're exercising, then you can gain muscle mass when your fat converts to muscle. (example: body builder drinking protein shakes and working out = muscle mass = gain weight)

      You have to eat enough, or more than enough though! So it depends.

      If you're having dietary problems (not enough nutrients, etc) while exercising, you can definitely lose body fat. (example: starving anorexic losing weight)

19. QUESTION:
    How much weight do you loose at weight loss/fat camp?
    I want to go their and loose 20 ibs, I am about 20ibs over weight, so whats the norm for loosing weight?

    • ANSWER:
      it depends on your age and physical condition. the younger you are the faster you will lose weight. if you are under 20 years old. not worth the money. a dietitian could set you up with a healthy loss program. a gradual increase in physical activity even joining your local community centers gym would do wonders. the cost for the camp is very very high. much better off going to a dietitian. health food stores do have weight loss supplements. if you are 18 or under your body still has not reached adult height. just a change in diet, slowly increase your physical activity. you will lose the extra pounds. save a ton of money. which you will need to purchase new clothing. you should be able to this in 2 months at the most. the younger you are the faster the lbs will come off. fruit vegetables much cheaper than meat. not a major issue yet. good luck.

20. QUESTION:
    What is a good cleanse or pill that will help with real weight/fat loss?
    Something that will help me lose a few pounds for encouragement but that I will be able to keep off with my regular healthy diet and exercise. Are tea cleanses good? What do you suggest? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      don't fall for that "cleansing" bullcrap myth stuff. i've done The Master Cleanse 3 times in my life (once for 22 days straight) and every time i did so i was fatter then when i finished 3 months later....

      ex- boxers, horse jockeys, and mixed martial arts fighters lose can lose 15-40 pounds in 2 days and will gain it ALL back hours later. thats the only benefit "cleansing" has

      not eating solid food with protein, fiber and carbs slows down your metabolism. the only weight you'll lose that will stay off is weight that you lose slowly.

    • ANSWER:
      According to the reviews that I have read about the program, it does work, and people can lose weight, although the focus is more on the exercise rather than the diet aspect of the program.

22. QUESTION:
    How weight loss and fat loss differs What are natural and effective ways of fat loss?
    hey I just heard about this , here's the only thing I've found on it http://www.restaurantandbar.org/fatloss.html does anyone have anymore details on this??

    • ANSWER:
      No matter how you slice it, diet is a dirty word. It smacks of deprivation and hunger pangs. To overcome the pain, you need a plan.

      So WebMD asked the experts for advice, and put together their quick tips on how to get your weight lossgoing.

      1. Know Your Weight Loss Goals

      Consider how much you need to lose before you decide how to do it, recommends Brian C. Jacobson, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine and a gastroenterologist at Boston University Medical Center in Massachusetts.

      Very overweight or obese. "For someone obese, I refer them to our weight loss center," says Jacobson, who says people with a lot of weight to lose can probably benefit from a structured, supervised program.

      If you're slightly or moderately overweight. "I advise controlling portion size," Jacobson says. "If you control portion size, you cut calories."

      To learn correct portion sizes, consult a registered dietitian or take a look at the new food pyramid at MyPyramid.gov.

      Exercise also has to be part of your plan, Jacobson tells the do-it-yourselfers. But that doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym. "Buy a cheap treadmill," he says, and when you're watching TV, hop on and take a walk.

      Before starting a new exercise regime or weight loss plan, however, remember to talk with your doctor.

      2. Understand Your Weight Loss Personality

      Personality plays a role in our attitude towards food, says Thomas R. Przybeck, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, who has published on the topic of diet and personality. Know your tendencies and tailor your plan to conquer the unproductive inclinations.

      Impulsive. "If you have a tendency to be impulsive, you might see a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer and go for it," Przybeck says. Clearly you are a dieter who needs to remove those temptations.

      Oblivious. If you tend to not pay attention when you eat -- maybe you're a TV snacker? -- you need to avoid such situations if you want to control portions.

      Uptight. "If you are highly anxious, you will probably have more difficulty," Przybeck says. "Those who are anxious, nervous, and depressed might eat to feel better."

      Tenacious. Certain personalities don't find it that difficult losing weight. "If you are highly self-directed, cooperative, and have a lot of stick-to-it-ive-ness, you are going to have an easier time," Przybeck says.

      Sociable. You tend to monitor your food intake better than others, Przybeck found.

      3. Double Up: Diet & Exercise

      When her heartburn patients ask which should come first, diet or exercise, Lauren Gerson, MD, MSc, director of the Esophageal and Small Bowel Disorders Center at Stanford University School of Medicine in California, says: jump in and do both.

      "It's a combination of diet and exercise [that will lead to weight loss]," she says.

      4. Make a Firm Weight Loss Commitment

      To be successful, it helps to understand why you want to lose weight. So before you begin a weight loss plan, ask yourself:

      * Am I ready to do this?
      * Is my motivation coming from within?
      * Can I deal with occasional setbacks or lack of progress?
      * Can I focus on weight loss fully? (If you're in the midst of a job change or other distractions, for example, it might be better to resolve those issues, and then focus on weight loss efforts.)

      Finally, be sure you're committed to losing weight for yourself -- not because someone else is pressuring you to do so.

      Then, take things slowly, keep these tips in mind, and you should be on the road to weight loss in no time.

23. QUESTION:
    Does shifting calories actually work to lose weight? (fat loss 4 idiots)?
    Does shifting calories actually work to lose weight?

    Does Fat loss 4 idiots really work?

    Anyone had any success with it? And if I do it combined with exercise will it work even better?

    • ANSWER:
      Diets don't work.

      Here's some ideas for simple weight loss:

      First, get smaller plates. Most dinner plates these days are huge.

      Next, plate your food as follows, 1/2 the plate vegetables, 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbohydrates. Fruit on the side or for snack.

      Eat less, and more often. Instead of three big meals, three small meals with three snacks in between.

      Shop in the outer sections of the supermarket. That's where the healthy foods are. The junk is in the middle.

      Read the labels.

      Go for items with higher dietary fiber. If you eat pasta, get whole wheat pasta. It has more fiber, plus I think it tastes better.

      Fats: You need them to process vegetables, so don't cut them out. Besides they help make many things taste better. Just cut way back. Also check and make sure the are unsaturated fats. That will help your cholesterol levels. The fats you want are usually the ones that are liquid at room temperature, but completely avoid trans fats. Trans fats are near liquid, but they are saturated fats and are REALLY bad for you.

      DO NOT CUT OUT SWEETS. By trying to cut them completely, you end up binging on them, then regretting it later.

      When you eat carbs, have some protein with them. That keeps your blood sugar levels even. Even if your not diabetic, your blood sugar levels can still fluctuate and cause problems.

      Condiments such as mayonnaise and butter. Do not use the light or low-fat varieties. Just learn to use less. That way, if you go out and the light variety is not available, you're used to to it and don't go overboard.

      If you do binge, do not get discouraged and go back to old habits. Say "oh well, tomorrow's a new day," and get back on that horse.

      Walk every day, at least twenty minutes. Not a casual stroll, but a determined walk.

      Realize that this is a life change, not a diet. Diets don't work.

26. QUESTION:
    What is the best fat- burning/weight loss pill?
    I want to at least maintain my weight, but can afford to lose a few pounds. Im overwhelmed with college work and go to a top ranked "food-school." Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      The two best weight loss/ fat burning pills?

      --diet and exercise

      I'm a college student, too... an engineering student, to be exact.. so I have a lot of trouble getting out there and exercising... the best thing I've found is to get your friends involved.. join a group fitness class at your university gym or something... if you get your friends involved then this will be your chance to hang out with them as well as have a good time exercising.. really, it's the ONLY time I get to see my friends... and, yes, it puts me behind on my work a little bit, at least, more than I'd like to be... but there's things more important in life than straight A's in college... your body is the only one you get and you should take care of it....

27. QUESTION:
    How would someone get rid of excess body fat after weight loss?
    after losing alot of weight my best friend needs to firm up. Especially her stomach. She has lost alot of weight and would look amazing if she did not have that "hanging" stomach. Is it possible to get rid of it all together or should she do lypo?

    • ANSWER:
      yes it's definitely possible. i went through the same thing. all she has to do is be dedicated. working out and a healthy diet. Crunches, running, leg lifts should help her with her stomach and legs. She should also do a few reps of lifting with 5 pound weights. Don't exceed 5 pounds though because the 5 pounds should give her enough muscle for her arm to be firm but not too muscley.

29. QUESTION:
    What are some great exercises for weight loss/fat burn?
    I know that some cardio is good for you but is it jogging/swimming/bouncing on trampoline that burns the most calories in a set time? And what are some great exercises to build/tone up muscle

    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Doing interval training can bring the best results in a set time. You could do this with jogging or swimming and also at the gym on a treadmill or elliptical.

      Weight training is also excellent for burning calories plus will help to build and tone up your muscles.

      Good luck!

30. QUESTION:
    what are the best fat burning weight loss machines at the gym?
    Ive started going to the gym as Im well..fat.
    So I really want to burn fat and lose around 20lbs, whats the best exercises to do and how many calories shall I restrict to?

    • ANSWER:
      As for how many calories, go online and check what your BMI is. This is how many calories you burn at rest. Your diet should be a little (not much) less than this a day, otherwise your body will think you are starving it and won't burn fat. And don't fill up those calories with sugar or bad carbs. Instead stick to lean meats, lots of veggies, fruit, good carbs (brown rice, oatmeal), and dairy (skim milk, yogurt...not fatty dairy products). For your workout, I like the elliptical machine and the stationary bike because i have really bad knees and the treadmill kills them. But don't do more than 30 minutes of cardio or your body will start burning muscle. Be sure to switch up your routine and start to add more intensity, change modes, and change routines every few weeks or your body will stop adjusting and you will stop losing weight. Also add in weight lifting, upper and lower body, as this will burn calories throughout the day after you finish your routine. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

31. QUESTION:
    Besides cayenne, any other common spices or ingredients, etc., really effective for burning fat/weight-loss?
    Folks, I know I feel warmed-up when I toss some powdered or flaked plain (unsalted) chili pepper or cayenne pepper in a glass with filtered water, and toss that back. Even, it makes my scalp sweat! Any use in trying to lose weight? I mean, are any peppers PROVEN to help with burning fat/weight-loss?
    (Look, I already walk 2 hours/day, eat less than I would like... Just, I want to do EVERYTHING I can, and so, I would like to hear from people who got results with pepper(s) - various types.)
    Further, I have no access (or interest in getting) in maple syrup. Is it really important? I mean, I don't care about taste; I'll drink/eat anything that will help take off the weight. Also, I have heaps and heaps of various types of pepper: cayenne, habanero, chili... Do any OTHER peppers help with weight-loss, or, is it just cayenne?
    Thank you very much for sharing your experiences!

    • ANSWER:
      Well the sweating may be burning a few calories but as far as peppers being used for weight loss, I have never heard anything. I eat 'em cuse I like them. Pickles however do burn calories just by eating them. Something about it taking your body more energy to digest it than it contains. Not really what you asked but somewhat relevant.

34. QUESTION:
    Will weight training hinder my fat loss?
    Ive lost 30 lbs and have got 20 lbs before I reach my ideal weight. If I start an intense weight training regimen, eat a lot, and take creatine, I know I will gain weight. But in the process of bulking up, will I lose fat or will my weight loss so fae go down the drain?

    • ANSWER:
      It will accelerate your fat loss and here is why:

      1. Maintaining extra muscle mass burns extra calories 24 hours per day.

      2. Protein synthesis for muscle growth requires extra calories (which is often taken out of fat stores). This is why lean people have to take in extra calories (in addition to protein) in order to build muscle.

      3. When the body is in a caloric deficit (required for fat loss), it can burn either fat or muscle to satisfy the deficit. If there is a stimulus that is telling the body to add muscle (weight lifting), then the body will be more selective in burning fat to satisfy the deficit.

      The first poster is right. Ignore the scale and get a measuring tape. None of your clothing sizes are listed in lbs.

      Here is a chart showing the actions needed for fat loss:

    What's a good way to lose excess fat after weight loss?
    After losing weight, I now find that my belly hangs way down. Just flab. I've had back surgery so sit-ups are a definite NO. Anyone with some other tips on getting rid of this, short of liposuction, please respond.

    • ANSWER:
      That's not fat. It's excess skin. The only way is surgery. If you have a lot of excess skin and you are willing to donate it for skin grafts, many doctors will remove it for free. You will have scars, though.

      Diet pills have a very low success rate but the best 5 are supposed to be Orovo Detox, ZCA Stack, Phentermine (prescription only), Hamcho Slim and Hoodia Chaser.

      Apple cider vinegar (diluted with plenty of water) every day will speed up your metabolism and that helps with weight loss.

    When dieting how much weight loss is actual fat loss vs muscle loss?
    I am talking about typical calorie-reduced dieting (nothing extreme) and am looking for what is the average percentage of fat and muscle loss assuming no weight bearing exercises are involved in the weight loss plan.
    I also know that a lot of water is lost the first few weeks of dieting, but please skip over that.

    • ANSWER:
      the idea in a diet is to reduce the fat from your body but NOT to lose any muscle tissue. that is why you need to excersize and actually add muscle mass to your body.
      the muscle increases your metabolism and helps you burn up fat.
      dont reduce your water consumption in order to lose water weight. drink plenty of water, at least 2-3 liters a day (or more if you spend a lot of time out in the sun or have a hard physical work.

    How Quick Do they work?

    • ANSWER:
      Roter Choat is correct. Researchers have found that obese adults who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt (if you want to sweeten it, just add Splenda or Equal) a day as part of a reduced-calorie diet lost 22% more weight and 61% more body fat than those who simply cut calories and didn't bone up on calcium. Yogurt eaters also lost 81% more fat in the stomach area than non-yogurt eaters. Not only did yogurt help the study participants lose more weight -- the average weight loss was 14 pounds -- they were about twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass. This is a critical issue when dieting -- you want to lose fat, not muscle. Muscle helps burn calories, but it is often compromised during weight loss.

      In the study, researchers compared the effects of adding yogurt to a reduced-calorie diet on weight loss in 34 healthy obese adults who were divided into two groups.

      For 12 weeks, the first group ate three 6-ounce servings of fat-free yogurt providing about 1,100 milligrams of calcium per day; the other group ate only one serving of dairy providing 400-500 milligrams of calcium per day. Both groups ate a controlled diet that contained 500 fewer calories than normal to stimulate weight loss.

      The results appear in the April issue of the International Journal of Obesity. I recommend starting breakfast also with yogurt since it kick-starts your metabolism after an all-night fast. Good luck and hope this helps.
