In Part 1 of the How Not to Lose Weight series, I talked about fad diets and why you need to be careful if you plan to follow one. In this part, I will talk about the difference between losing weight and losing fat and why it's important.

There are many different schools of thought out there when it comes to losing weight. The only thing they all agree on is that you need to burn more energy than you take in. So to make that happen should you be doing a low-fat diet? How about low-carb? Or should you stop worrying about all that and just eat less? I don't know for sure one way or the other and I won't pretend to. Nutritional science is constantly changing and part of why is because we don't really understand how our bodies work as much as we'd like to think we do. The human body is a complex system. It's more like a nation's economy than some simple machine where you do this and it does that. So instead of writing a series of articles on how to lose weight, I'm writing one on what not to do. |
