3) Every action has a compensatory reaction People who focus on weight loss look at meals as separate and distinct. Breakfast has nothing to do with lunch, which is separate from dinner. Practitioners of the fat loss lifestyle know choices at one meal directly impact choices and metabolic out- comes at the next meal. Choosing to have a tiny salad for lunch or skipping an afternoon snack to save on calories has conse- quences later. Fat loss seekers know this. They can connect the dots between 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 mind- ed people: 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 conse- quences that matter. Exercise and diet are not separate. This same concept applies to stress and sleep. They have no calories, but the compensatory 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 over the scale and are confused about 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.
