Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue), or lean mass (namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue). Weight loss can either occur unintentionally because of malnourishment or an underlying disease, or from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. "Unexplained" weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or increase in exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition.
Your weight is a balancing act, and calories are part of that equation. Weight loss comes down to burning more calories than you take in. You can do that by reducing extra calories from food and beverages, and increasing calories burned through physical activity.
Remember that everyone's body is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's essential to find an approach to weight loss that fits your individual needs and preferences. Additionally, consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions. They can provide personalized guidance and ensure your weight loss plan is safe and appropriate for your situation.
