The Difference Between Fat Loss and Weight Loss

Not all of the weight you lose is going to be fat. That’s just the way it is. Some of it will be unwanted water weight, which is mostly a good thing, if not somewhat temporary. Some of it will be built-up fecal matter and “gunk” in the intestines, which is a very good thing. In fact, this gunk may very well be making you frequently ill and slowing down fat loss due to a lack of proper nutrient absorption. The zero carb days & non processed food you eat during SHRINK  will assist with shifting some of this 'gunk'.
Some of your weight loss will almost invariably be muscle mass, which is an undesirable thing. But we try to prevent this by doing resistance training; (weights and your own bodyweight).  The fact is the worst form of weight loss is muscle mass, which is also the most common form of weight loss on most diet plans. Remember that muscle burns calories at rest; therefore the more of it you have the more calories you can burn while you sleep, while you exercise, and while you carry on about your day.
During periods of rapid weight loss it is not uncommon to lose a bit of muscle, but ensuring you eat sufficient protein, a broad spectrum of foods, a nutritional supplement, together with training during your diet, this can be totally avoided and you can often gain muscle.
