Measuring Success in Weight Loss

Fat Loss:
How do you measure your success? You probably think that weighing yourself on a scale every day is the best way to see your progress. We recommend that you THROW AWAY YOUR SCALE. Give it to someone you want to drive crazy. Choose to Lose Weight-Loss Plan for Men is not about Weight loss. It is about fat loss. (Rest assured, if you lost fat, you will lose weight.)

The only weight loss that is meaningful and permanent and has long term health benefits is fat loss. If you reduce your intake of fat, eat lots of nutritious total calories, you will lose fat. But the scale does not distinguish among water loss, muscle loss, and fat loss.

In the first few weeks of following Choose to Lose Weight-Loss Plan for Men, you will be losing fat and building muscle. This muscle has weight. Actually, muscle is heavier than fat. In the long run added muscle will help you burn fat. In the short run, because the muscle you are building may weight as much as the fat you are losing, the scale may not show a loss.

A more accurate and positive way to measure your fat-loss progress is to see how you fit into your clothes. Fitting into a smaller pair of pants indicates that you are losing fat and building lean muscle mass, which is just as important as losing pounds. In fact, it is more important, because the greater your muscle mass, the greater your metabolic capacity to burn get and the more weight you will lose in the future.
