How to lose body fat
Body fat can’t be melted away through plastic wraps, saunas, or steam baths; and it can’t be rubbed away through massage, or vibrating and rubbing machines. Furthermore, fat can’t be dissolved away through any food or dietary supplement.
Sweating—whether through saunas, or localized through special bands, belts, or wrappings—doesn’t produce fat loss. Instead, it produces water loss, which is regained through fluid intake.
It’s physiologically impossible to whittle away fat through working the muscle beneath the fat. Reduction of fat in a specific area of the body through exercise.. OR
Diet—spot reduction—is impossible. The body sheds fat overall, but from some places more than others, or not at all. The only way to spot-reduce fat is through surgical intervention, which has perils and isn’t a long-term cure.
There are no quick fixes for fat loss. It is possible to lose a lot of weight quickly, through dietary deprivation, but some of the loss will be muscle, which would be disastrous. Muscle is a major ally on multiple fronts, including external appearance, general well-being, overall fitness, the ability to lose fat, and the ability to keep excess fat off.
Weight-loss programs are usually driven by reductions in gross body weight. Fat loss is what’s required, not just any weight loss.
Dieting alone isn’t enough for successful fat loss and maintenance of the fat loss.

The foundation of fat loss
There’s nothing complicated about how to lose body fat. It’s the implementation of the know-how that usually produces difficulty. The first requirements for fat loss are resolve, and self-control.
Over recent years, per-capita food intake has increased in the US and some other countries, but the average individual’s activity level in those countries has decreased. This combination is the root of the increasing levels of body fat. Increased energy input and reduced energy output produce a surplus of energy, which is stored as fat.
There are many diets and exercise-diet plans that can produce the caloric deficit required for fat loss, but the end result is the same—living off fat stores in the body. A caloric deficit means consuming fewer calories than are used up through daily activity. Some diets and exercise-diet plans are better than others. Many are impractical over the long-term, some are unhealthy, and most don’t include muscle-building. The best approach is the adoption of a healthy and practical diet-exercise strategy that can be sustained over the long-term.
There are three ways of producing a caloric deficit:
- Reduce food intake sufficiently, and keep activity levels unchanged.
- Keep food intake unchanged, but increase activity levels greatly.
- Reduce food intake and increase activity levels.
If you depend exclusively on reducing your food intake, you would have to make a greater reduction than if you shared the job with an increase in activity. The dependency on food reduction alone could leave you hungry for much of the day. Furthermore, many people are so sedentary that their caloric requirements are below the norm. Therefore, if they cut their food intake significantly—for fat loss—they may consume insufficient nutrients, which can lead to health problems.
