The adipose tissue is much more than an annoying energy storage.
Human fat is a metabolically active tissue that is not just for the hunger-saturation adjustment, but also valuable for the hormonal control and the immune system.
Too much fat makes you sick. It is also responsible for the typical lifestyle diseases such as high blood pressure, artherosclerosis, diabetes or osteoarthritis. But too little fat makes you sick as well. Health issues up to metabolic diseases are a result of a low body fat percentage. The right measure is profound.
Fact is, anyone who wants to lose weight and wants to lose fat successfully, must use up more energy then give to the body. The energy consumption can be increased by physical activity. This does not have to be high-performance sports. The energy consumption and thus the metabolism are already increased when everyday activities, such as walking, ride a bike to work or take the stairs, are increased. For targeted fat loss, however, this is not enough. A simultaneous change in diet is essential. This is true for the man and for the woman without exception.
