What is the difference between weight loss and fat loss? Which of the two is recommended more than the other?

I was under the impression that fat loss leads to weight loss or vice versa but it seems both are different. Can anyone explain the difference??
and I want to get any advise/tips for fat/weight loss… thank you

    I had a load of unwanted fat in all the embarrassing zones until I checked out acai berry, I acknowledge they say that pills will not work, however they definitely worked for me, and they’ve been shown on CBS News too. There’s a free trial going on currently at http://gilomp.easyslimmingdiet.info , why not check it out, what’s the worst that could happen?

    Hm, I’m guessing weight loss can vary from water weight being lost, or even just muscle mass being lost. And then fat loss is just the actual loss of fat around the body.
    For fat loss, though, just diet and exercise should do the trick. Running and swimming I hear is a great fat loss routine. And also, its as simple as eating healthy and consuming less calories than you burn. Do this consistently, and the fat should fall off. haha.

    Weight loss could be fat loss + muscle loss + water loss. This sets you up for rebound weight gain. the water loss will come back. The loss muscle will be replaced with fat when the weight comes back. Weight loss alone that is not ALL fat loss is not sustainable. Weight loss can be achieved via dieting but fat loss can only be achieved via a sensible diet and exercise. Fat loss is sustainable on the long term as you will most likely build on your muscle reserves while you lose fat. Fat loss is correct weight loss.

    Weight loss just means you’ve lost weight wich is a combination of muscle, water and fat. You don’t want to lose muscle because that makes it even harder to lose fat. When you lose fat you will have lost weight and you will look and feel better.

    The more muscle you build the more fat you will lose because increased muscle gives you a faster metabolism and that will burn more fat. Concentrate on fat loss NOT weight loss!

    Low Fat Foods don’t work
    You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

    Low Calorie Diets don’t work
    You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

    Low Carb Plans don’t work
    You’ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.
