Weight Loss Is Easy, Fat Loss Is Not A successful diet does much more than simply take off unwanted pounds - it helps you feel good and look good. And it is permanent. This is because it includes making changes in body composition and metabolism that increase the body's ability to burn calories. These changes do not depend upon a large reduction in the calories consumed, but upon minor modifications in the foods eaten and upon the addition of a small number of supplements to the diet. The result is a decrease in fatty tissue and an increase in the ratio of lean muscle tissue to adipose (fat) tissue in the body. Such a change is psychologically satisfying because lean tissue not only burns calories, but also gives women their shapely figures and men their muscle tone. In any successful weight-loss program, you should be able to judge yourself by your mirror rather than by your bathroom scale!
