Page 11: Long-Term Planning For Successful Weight Loss
USEFUL INFORMATION LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS Ignoring a balanced diet and simply reducing food intake to lose weight can lead to a decline in muscle and bone. This may result in weight loss but not in reduction of fat levels. So even though your weight goes down, your resting metabolism is reduced making the body more prone to putting on fat.
