Although fat will obviously weigh something, it seems foolish to focus on losing weight as opposed to losing fat.
If you really want to lose the fat try eating your normal diet but simply less of it*. I know a few don’t subscribe to calories in/calories out etc but I reckon that’s mostly claimed by those that lack will power or self control when it comes to food.
*Try this – it’s aggressive but works…
Eat 8-10 calories per pound of your GOAL body weight, per day.
In most cases it really is in vs out so reduce and you’ll lose. There’s a case of a doctor that lost weight by eating only Twinkies or something so you don’t really have to lose out on the stuff you like, as above, just eat less.
Beware alcohol and fruit juice/sugary drinks – non filling and lots of extra calories without anything substantial hitting the gut.
And good luck to anyone having a go at it!
