Arvind Padmaraju spent 17 years learning that weight loss and fat loss are different things. The scale doesn't tell you if you're losing muscle or fat. Track waist measurements instead, eat 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, and combine that with strength training and sleep.

So don't do this one mistake, especially with your own health journey. So this is the biggest mistake I have done with my own 17 years journey. Uh, every single time I used to do my weight loss or my health transformation, what is that exactly, uh, that one mistake you should not do and how you can overcome that, um, what is the right way to do it? Hi, my name is Arvind Padmaraju. I'm a health and wellness coach, and today we'll dive deep into some of the— one of the biggest myths or working out, or, you know, they think that they are healthier. So there are two biggest challenges with counting the BMI. BMI will not tell you exactly whether— even if you're at ideal weight and if your body weight or body fat percentage is more, that means you are still under more risk. So what you step on yourself onto a scale Your body consists— your body weight, whatever it shows, it is either 100 kilos or 80 kilos, whatever it is showing, it consists of different aspects of your weight. The first thing is your muscle mass. By default, every single human has a muscle mass and essential fat, excess body fat. So the problem is not your overall weight is a problem. Your problem, the biggest culprit is excess body fat. That is excess body fat which is causing you with all kinds of health challenges and lifestyle disorders and all of them. Your focus should be losing only the excess body fat, not just overall weight and just aggressively do some kind of fat loss journey. What happens is you will be losing muscle mass. This is what was happening with my all my previous transformations from the 2008 to till 2020. I always used to focus on aggressive weight loss and I always used to, whenever I step onto the scale, if the scale shows 17% body fat, even though I was at around that weight But my body fat was always at the higher rate because the mistake what I did is I've neglected some of the points which I'm going to share it with you, which you need to make sure that you need to address that. The second important thing, what is the meaning of you, the BMI not tell you? You can see here the 60 kgs of weight, the person can have with a 20% body fat and the person can have a 35% body fat. Both are into ideal weight. Do you think both are okay? 35% is the higher side. So what you need to focus on is you need to focus on losing the body fat, allowing enough fiber, you're doing a strength training routine, you're taking care of your sleep well, you are hydrating your body well. And all these things, if you are doing it properly and if you be in the calorie deficit, then you start losing the body fat. So during the fat loss journey, you will lose muscle, but if you don't give enough By default, your body burns more calories to maintain that muscle. Okay, so that is this one mistake ever. Don't give— don't do it. Don't go with the crazy diets. Someone told you that, you know, this fruit diet, someone gave you a fat diet to lose crazy, um, weight loss. Of losing fat is only focusing on losing your body fat. In, uh, in scientific terms, in the technical terms, people talk— call it as a fat loss. That is what is the biggest difference between a weight loss and fat loss. In a weight loss, you can lose muscle mass, you can lose water weight, and also you can lose non-essential fat. But what is the best way to do? Whenever you're tracking on a weekly basis your way, your progress, don't only depend on your weight. Your weight doesn't show the actual, the reality. What is the best way to do is inch loss. So always measure on top of your waist and see whether your inches are going down. For always have with the multiple body part weight loss.
