The trouble with these fat monitors, is that they are often no terribly accurate.

They give an idea of fat, but not within 100%.

During the first week, you probably will lose some fat, though the majority of the loss will be water/glycogen (or just water for those doing more traditional diets such as WW and SW.

people have said to me before do you wanna lose weight or fat?? i thought it was all the same thing how do you lose one and not the other
When we diet, after the first couple of weeks all dieters lose fat and lean mass (yes...muscle )

How much lean mass depends on a few factors, including how much fat you have to lose. The skinnier you get, the more chance that you lose more lean.

With diets such as Cambridge, the loss of lean mass is minimized owing to the higher protein levels and because we go into ketosis

Ketosis is fat burning once the glycogen stores have been used
