What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss? Which of the two is recommended more than the other?

Weight loss means reducing weight by means loss of fluid, body fat, lean mass, muscle and other connective tissues. Muscle loss during weight loss can be restricted by regularly lifting weights or doing push-ups maintaining sufficient protein intake.

Where as for fat loss people aim to reduce percentage of body fat and it depends on factors such as calories in versus calories out, hormonal control, and metabolic efficiency. Additionally, as muscle tissue is denser than fat, fat loss results in increased loss of body volume compared with muscle loss.

Fat and carbs are the fuel to produce calories and they burn even while you are watching TV or running around a track. A successful fat-loss program centers on the reduction of body fat levels with minimal disruption to your metabolic rate and energy levels
