Losing Weight    Losing weight can make you fatter

Men A and B were the same height and weight and had the same percentage of body fat when they started to diet. Each lost a total of 15 lbs over the same period of time.
     Although the results appear identical, Man A's diet consisted of simply cutting calories. He lost weight, but his percentage of body fat increased - he is actually "fatter." Man B's diet combined cutting calories with a program of exercise. In addition to the 15-lb weight loss, his body fat has dropped to 16.6%.
