People often talk about wanting to lose weight and dream of looking like lean models with perfectly toned bodies. However, in most instances, you typically want to lose body fat. If you lose weight, you will end up losing both fat and muscle, which will make your body smaller, but it won’t really change your shape. It certainly will not make you appear leaner or athletically toned. Similarly, it will not make you stronger.
It’s why you don’t want to run after weight loss but rather shift your goal toward a more holistic approach to fat loss and muscle gain with healthy diet plans and muscle-building exercises. However, many people find it to be quite challenging to lose fat while holding on to and building their muscles.
