Weight loss involves reducing body mass by losing fat, muscle, water, or a combination of these. It’s commonly pursued for health improvement, aesthetic enhancement, or performance enhancement. Effective weight management typically combines diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Dietary strategies may focus on reducing calorie intake, modifying the types of foods consumed (such as increasing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while reducing fats and sugars), and improving overall nutrition. Physical activity is essential as it helps burn calories and can contribute to muscle mass maintenance during weight loss.
