Weight loss and fat loss are the two terms that people often use interchangeably.

Weight loss is referred to as the decrease in the overall weight of a person including fat, muscles and water weight. While fat loss is basically losing only fat from the body.

If you consider weight loss diet this will include losing muscle mass which decreases your body’s ability to burn calories and may increase the likeability of gaining the lost weight in the form of fat.

On the other hand fat loss goals is to preserve as much as muscle as possible, or possibly even gaining some.
