What is more important, losing weight, losing fat or being fit?

 Weight loss refers to a decrease in your overall body weight from muscle, water, and fat losses.

Fat loss refers to weight loss from fat, and it’s a more specific and healthful goal than weight loss.

However, it can be difficult to know whether you’re losing weight from fat or muscle

A body fat scale or skinfold caliper is more useful for monitoring fat loss than tracking your bodyweight alone.

Other simple ways to access fat loss include measuring inches or centimeters lost from your waist and hips and noting any changes in how your clothes fit around your waist.

Losing weight in the form of fat rather than muscle should be the priority given how important your fat-to-muscle ratio is to your overall health.

You can prioritize fat loss by eating plenty of protein, exercising, and moderately restricting your calories.
