Understanding Fat Loss vs. Fat Burning
Understanding the difference between fat loss and fat burning is essential for effective weight management. Fat burning refers to the process where the body uses fat as a source of energy during physical activity, primarily at lower intensities such as walking or light jogging. On the other hand, fat loss occurs when the body reduces its stored fat, which is primarily dependent on maintaining a caloric deficit over time. This distinction is crucial, especially for men over 40, as it directly impacts their ability to manage belly fat and overall body composition.
