eating less all day and insatiable cravings for sweet
fatty foods later. Weight loss
practitioners seem to ignore these events, never being consciously aware that their very approach to dieting is the cause of their hunger, cravings, lows in energy and
eventual weight gain rebound. The same concept applies to exercise.
To weight loss minded people you should exercise as long as possible; after all it takes 250 calories to offset the 1/2 of a Snickers bar they just ate. What they don’t realize is

that the wrong choice of exercise makes them far more likely to eat 500 calories of junk food later that day. Fat Loss seekers realize the amount and type of exercise has food consequences that matter. Exercise and diet are not separate. This same concept applies to stress and
sleep. They have no calories, but the com- pensatory reactions they create impact how much we eat, what we crave and whether we feel motivated to move. Weight loss thinking can not combat the impact of stress and sleep deprivation.
4) Shades of Gray Fat loss practitioners know there are
certain foods that are fine for some, but don’t work for them. They don’t see the rules of nutrition as black and white, but rather gray. A weight loss person will choose a diet Coke because it has zero calories. A fat loss seeker may or may not choose the same thing based on what it does to them. They are attune to the way food impacts them. Diet Coke may cause cravings in some and a fat loss person will honor this individual reaction. Many healthy foods will be avoided by some practitioners of the fat loss lifestyle because while it may work for some, they are aware it does not work for them.
5) Fat loss seekers care less about what they weigh
Because gaining muscle also means gaining weight, fat loss seekers don’t focus too much on what they weigh. They instead look at the tightness and tone of the body. They realize a pound of fat and muscle weigh the same, but muscle takes up less space on the body. A fat loss seeker can look 130 but weigh 150 and they are ok with that. Weight loss people obsess about the scale and are confused how they can gain or lose 5 pounds in one day. Fat loss people know this is water and it bothers them far less. They measure body fat not just weight and pay attention to the muscle to fat ratio. They would rather be tight and firm vs. skinny and flabby.
