Andrea Giancoli (Registered Dietician ) gives expert video advice on: How can I lose fat instead of water weight?

If you go below what is called your basal metabolic rate, and your basal metabolic rate is the calories that you need to basically stay alive. Once you go below that, that is when you start to see your taking energy from your glycogen storage taking energy from your lean muscle tissue. That is why it is important that we try to lose weight in a slow, steady way. No more than one to two pounds a week because we don't want to be feeding on our lean muscle tissue. We want to be feeding on our fat tissue and controlling the calories in a balanced way so that doesn't happen.
