When we talk about fat loss, we are really talking about the reduction of body fat. Body fat is an essential part of human biology, but too much body fat can lead to health problems.

Types of Body Fat

There are two types of body fat: subcutaneous and visceral.

• Subcutaneous fat is the fat that is stored just beneath the skin. It is the fat that you can pinch with your fingers.
• Visceral fat is the fat that is stored deep within the body, surrounding your organs. Visceral fat is more dangerous than subcutaneous fat because it has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems.

Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss

Fat loss is not the same as weight loss. When you lose weight, you are losing a combination of fat, muscle, and water. Fat loss, on the other hand, specifically refers to the reduction of body fat. It is possible to lose weight without losing much body fat, and it is possible to lose body fat without losing much weight.

Achieving Fat Loss

In order to achieve fat loss, you need to create a calorie deficit. This can be done by consuming fewer calories, burning more calories through exercise, or a combination of both. It is important to note that creating too large of a calorie deficit can be counterproductive, as your body may start to break down muscle tissue for energy instead of fat.
