    Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss: What's the Difference and Why It Matters

    The scale doesn't tell the whole story. Learn why focusing on fat loss, not just weight loss, is the key to lasting results.

    If you've ever stepped on a scale after weeks of healthy eating and exercise only to see the number barely budge, you're not alone. The truth is, the scale is a terrible measure of progress. Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss Weight loss refers to an overall decrease in body weight, which includes water, muscle and fat. Fat loss specifically targets adipose tissue while preserving lean muscle mass. Why Fat Loss Matters More Muscle is metabolically active, it burns calories even at rest. Losing muscle slows your metabolism. Body composition (the ratio of fat to muscle) determines how you look and feel.
