The main measure of obesity is body weight very easy to measure, because the household and medical scales for weighing people's common and accessible. Of course, the more accurate indicator is the mass of human adipose tissue, but it is very difficult to determine. Therefore, the main measure of obesity was and is the body weight.
For these reasons, the fight against obesity turns into a struggle with weight. And it is fundamentally wrong! Loss of body weight does not always correspond to a loss of adipose tissue.
If any man says that he threw, say, 5 kg of weight, does that mean that he got rid of five pounds of fat? Not necessarily. Weight - the total, which is made up of fat mass, skeletal muscle, internal organs and various body fluids ... Plus a mass of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, which may vary within wide limits!
Consider a hypothetical situation. On the first day you ate and drank a lot and very nourishing, so that on the second day you have a clear aversion to food. Therefore, the entire second day you do not eat or drink. If you have made to weigh in the morning of the second and third day, the difference between them would have been certainly significant - up to 3 kg or more. That is a day of discharge you would have lost, for example, 3 kg of weight. And how would you reset the oil during this time?
Not at all ! After binge eating on the first day of the consumed nutrients be enough for the next day and even left, so that resort to spending reserve of fat depots is not required. Weight loss during the entire day of discharge is caused by waste nutrients assimilated from ingested before the meal, the evacuation of undigested residues, as well as the loss of water through sweat, urine and exhaled air. So in this example, the loss of weight - 3 kg, and fat loss - 0 kg.
As another example. In hot weather, people can lose through sweat quite a lot of water. Water can be lost rapidly and without the heat, if you take diuretic drugs. In these cases, water loss can reach 10 kg, and fat loss, as in the previous example, - 0.

Often, the means for weight loss contain laxative ingredients. That's right, because many people with obesity suffer from constipation. And after using the toilet weight will naturally decrease. But do not be naive to believe that this weight loss is fat loss.
As we discussed, it is often weight loss can significantly outperform the loss of fat. In this case, the question arises as to what speed can decrease weight without cheating, at the expense of adipose tissue alone?
It depends on the diet. The essence of any therapeutic diet for dumping excess body fat - to create a negative energy balance, so that the body was forced to spend their own fatty resources. Calories per kilogram of fat is well known
