text: what is the best healthy and fastest way to reduce fat ? hey i am 18 years old with 180 cm tall and 98 kgs weight ,, i am afraid if i do a diet that i dont eat anything just water and soup will effect my mental and health stuff ,,, i want to go to gym but after 5 months cause i got very important studies ,,  is there any good , fast and reliable way to lose weight ,, so when i will go to gym i would have lost some weight and start for body building ?  any healthy and trusted way will do ,, thank you by "dieting" with severe calorie restriction, you send the body a message that says... hey! i'm starving here!   it will not go to fat reserves to use them up- you will not burn fat. the body will go to muscle tissue to use for fuel.   yes, you will lose weight, but it will be muscle mass, not fat. that message flips a metabolic switch that tells the body to store whatever comes in as fat - fat storage mode - to protect the body.  that means that no matter what you consume, no matter if it's good for you or bad... gets stored as fat.    muscle weighs twice as much as fat. think of the volume that a pound of lead takes up, vrs a pound of feathers.  muscle dictates your metabolism.  if you add a pound of muscle to your body it uses up 30 - 50 calories per day at rest.  example - two people can weigh the exact same amount and the one with the higher muscle mass will look fit and the one with the higher body fat will look fat. educate yourself on a healthy diet and exercise. avoid trend diets - liquid, meal replacement, high protein, no carb...  etc.  go on line and find a healthy eating plan that you can stick to for life not for a few months.  weight training will increase your muscle mass. concentrate on increasing your muscle mass rather than losing weight.
