Weight loss and losing weight are common terms that are often misused or misinterpreted. When clients come to me with the goal of weight loss their actual intent is to lose fat mass. I prefer the terms leaning out plan or leaning out diet as they are more accurate. In fact most people actually want to maintain or even gain muscle and bone density which of course is a significant part of your weight. This is even truer with my male clients. Now this is where things can get more difficult. To gain muscle mass you have to consume a surplus of calories (more than you burn) to feed the lean mass growth.
