Weight Loss - A Reduction in Body Mass
Today we are inundated with information on how to lose weight (mass). A quick note on weight and mass - weight is the amount of force exerted on an object by gravity. It is related to mass, but if gravity is altered, your weight can vary immensely. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Regardless of the amount of gravity being exerted on you, your mass will remain consistent. If you would like to lose weight, jump in a body of water (buoyancy) or put yourself in an environment with less gravity. If you would like to lose mass - the solution is simple. Your total energy expenditure must exceed your total energy (food) consumption for the given period of time. Energy consumption can be measured relatively easily using a mobile app. Energy expenditure is more difficult to measure accurately, however there are equations to estimate the value to sufficient accuracy. Limit how much you eat, optimise how much you move.
