Percentage of Fat Loss on Different Diets

There are so many diets to choose from these days that it’s confusing to know which diet will work best. Some dieters switch from one diet to the next in the hope that one will produce more weight loss. Most diets will produce weight loss and some will help us lose it faster than others. However, what we all really want from a diet is the loss of fat stores from the body.

 

No matter how much we eat our body will always burn a small percentage of fat during the day. If we consume enough energy this fat is simply replaced and we maintain fat stores. When we consume less energy than required the fat naturally burned cannot be replaced because there is no excess of energy to be stored. For this reason when we lose weight there will always be some degree of fat loss. The problem is there’s also a loss of lean weight together with the fat. Any weight loss is a combination of water, protein and fat.

The idea with any chosen diet is to burn off as much fat as possible while at the same time losing the least amount of lean weight. This is important because a loss of too much lean weight contributes to a weight loss plateau. The trouble with some diets is they cause the loss of more water and protein compared to the amount of fat, often giving the dieter a false impression because many people wrongly associate weight loss as fat loss. If any weight lost is composed mainly of water then the dieter will simply regain most weight at a later stage or after the diet is discontinued. It could mean a weight loss of 10 pounds within a few weeks is really only 2 pounds after a further 2 weeks!

Below is a chart that estimates the percentage of fat loss using different diets over the course of 2 weeks. The remaining weight loss will be made up of water, glycogen and protein loss.
