People often talk about weight loss and fat loss as if they are the same thing
But they’re not
Lets say we have 2 men called Bill and Bob, both weighing 90kg
Bob decides he is going to lose weight by focusing on doing lots of cardio and cutting his calories really low and iver the course of a year he loses 15kg
Bill focuses on on weight training and getting stronger in the gym while maintaining a high proten diet to promote muscle growth and recovery whilst sticking to a small calorie deficit and over the course of a year he too loses 15kg
The end result is that even though both men lost 15kg Bill looks a lot more leaner and muscular
This is because Bill gained muscle while losing fat
Bob on the other lost muscle mass because he didn’t lift enough weights or eat enough protein
