Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue.

Hi, If you are looking for the best diet pills, I suggest doing what this mom did Combining the Acai,Cleanse and Rezveratrol program to get the best result Best Wishes, Answered by delfina - Tue Nov 3 16:12:13 2009 How much protein should a female consume for weight loss? Q. I've been working out consistently for about a year, but my weight loss has been really slow. I've only lost about 15-18lbs. I've also changed my diet and started eating a lot healthier. I haven't been intaking much protein and I believe that is a reason why my weight loss has been slow. How much protein should I take to speed up my weight loss? Are there any recipes, shakes or vitamins I should be taking? I workout at least 3-4x a week. On average I'm at the gym for 1hr. - 1.5hrs. I've been attending the RPM & Body Pump classes at least 2x a week. On the other days I'm doing cardio and weightlifting. I also do resistence training. Asked by lookinforexcitement - Wed Sep 12 08:26:23 2007 - - 4 Answers - 4 Comments A. Protein: Beans, lean meats such as boneless skinless chicken and fish, peanut butter (about 1 tablespoon for a serving), etc... Lean Protein should make up about 40% of your daily nutritional intake per day. 30% is for whole grains. 20% is for fruits & vegetables. 10% is for fat. Answered by kja63 - Wed Sep 12 08:30:04 2007 I am starting a weight loss competition in my family, whats the best way to measure progress?
Q. I wanted to start a weight loss competition this summer in my family, but I wanted it to be fair. For example its probably easier for my 260 pound brother to lose a pound than my 160 pound mom. So whats is the best way to compare? Should it just be percentage of mass? Should fat be considered? Should i buy a body fat analyzer? Because i guess if someone lost 10 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle, wouldn't that be better than someone else who just lost 9 pounds of fat? Just curious what people's thoughts on this are, i want it to be as fair as possible but with accurate measures of comparison.
