Fat loss Facts

Since fat is what you want to lose it helps to understand what it is. A visit to the local butchers will help! Ask him to show you a pound of fat. It is the size of a small brick. The idea that the body can lose 7lb of actual fat in a week is ludicrous. The maximum fat loss is more like 2lb a week, although 1lb is more realistic. Any further weight loss will be water and is more likely to come back quickly.

Motivation?

If you have a gym that can always access for free, for example in your building,
