Surely fat loss is the only loss that makes a visible difference? Ie. surely the water and intestinal contents don't make a difference to one's physical appearance?
Hi again Lilac,
No i don't believe this at all. I believe that if you lost 23 pounds you will look 23 pounds lighter, but when so much of it is normal temporary water weight, it can be a bit distorted looking. That's why, at least for me, now with reasonably low body fat... in gaining the water weight back after a fast, i do look heaver, but the added weight looks good because the body fat is still low. I would say it makes me look and "seem" more muscular, going from 150 to 170 pounds in 3 weeks, retaining the 10% or less body fat %.
With higher body fat, i would sadly say the water weight will make a person look and seem "fatter". But again, the person will look a lot better having lost the 8 pounds of real fat. If a person wishes to lose more body fat, this can continue to be done very effectively with nutritious diet (preferably vegetable and fruit based) and exercise (preferably intense cardio and strength training).
Other than that, everything makes perfect sense, and is extremely helpful. Thanks again.
You are so very welcome :). You're getting so close... exciting :). All the best.
