      Before I get stuck in this week, let me say one important thing. What you read on the scales is not a true reflection of how much fat you have lost or put on. Silence. Pin drop. If, each day for a week, you ate the same food, drank the same fluid and

      Step By Step Fat Loss For Beginners - Kelly Ferguson

      Introduction

      You bought this book because you feel like you need to lose weight.  You might be a complete beginner searching for help, or you could be a seasoned dieter who has exhausted every fad diet, miracle cure, and diet pill you could find.  Either way, the point of this book is to teach you the very backbone principles of nutrition and fitness, using simple math and science to point you in the right direction to meet your goals.  No fuss, no frills, no gimmicks or complicated diet rules.  With time and practice, these techniques will serve you throughout a lifetime of maintaining a healthy weight and fitness level. 

      This book will not inundate you with the latest scientific research and advanced techniques, but will give you guidance based on things I have learned through years of my own weight loss, and through being a personal trainer for others who needed to lose fat. 

      Step One

      Find Your Current Body Composition

      If it has been a while since you last stepped on the scale, take a deep breath.  As tempting as it might be to skip this step and jump straight into your new weight loss plan, do yourself a favor and take the time to do things properly.  You will thank yourself for it later when you can look back and see how far you've come.

      I recommend stepping on the scale first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything for the day.  It also helps if you weigh yourself naked.  That way, you are eliminating variables like clothing weight and minimizing the impact of food and water weight on your results.  It's impossible to completely eliminate variables altogether, but minimizing them helps you accurately keep track of your progress over time. 

      As a note for people who weigh themselves frequently, try not to get caught up in worrying about the daily ups and downs.  Your body can lose or gain several pounds overnight from water retention or loss, and this will show up on the scale, but it does not mean you have gained or lost that much fat.  What you are interested in tracking is your starting weight, your end weight, and your weight at a few checkpoints along the way to make sure you’re staying on track..

      Once you have found your starting weight, write it down.  You will be using this to find an estimate of your body fat percentage. 

      Your fat, combined with all of the lean components your body contains, such as muscle, blood, bone, skin,
