weight loss - reduction of the total body mass, due to a loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue.

Fat loss is what your after I would assume

Nutrition - nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism.

So PT’s stay in your lane

The cross over

1. The more healthy foods rich in nutrition the better they will be. Body will function better.

2. Use daily recommendations

3. Working out how many calories and macros

What a PT can’t do

4. Prescribe what to eat

5. Diagnose symptoms

6. Write food plans

Now we know the difference, lets look at how they can be applicable

Losing weigh will be very healthy for you. The method may not be the best in the short term but I’d sacrifice it for the greater good if I new it was the right move.

If a client was prone to yo-yoing I would use a much slower approach and play a longer game.

We can take all the information from the body building world to lose weigh as quick as possible.

If the client loses weight really fast then the client will also lose a proportion of muscle mass. Obviously this could be horrendous if they didn’t have much or poor bone density.

Whats the goal? Let make your clients look how they want to look not, weigh what they want. Hopefully its becoming clearer why we say don’t focus on weight lose.

Shape, tone and body fat would be better metrics.

Curb hunger and dont eat as many calories

0% calories products

no sugar jelly

Monster

Diet coke

Healthy foods which are high in calories are being over consumed

Being a healthy weight is the number one health indicator.

Often when theres no fat there sugar

Calorie dense food will only last so long if you have a limited number of calories per day as you will get hungry and such out less calorie dense food.
