Why you should focus on fat loss vs weight loss

Are you looking to live a healthier lifestyle but unsure where to start? While weight loss may be a potential result, one thing is often overlooked: fat loss.

The diagram below provides an example of two individuals both weighing 125 pounds but differing in body fat percentage.

125 lbs.
15% Body Fat

125 lbs.
25% Body Fat

Keep in mind the following fact: People who weigh the same don't always look the same. Body fat percentage plays a major role in your body composition and should be your primary focus.

The next time you feel your frustration level rise when you step on a scale, remember that number you see may not be an accurate measure of your progress.
