*Essential fat is important for proper functioning of the nervous system and needed by our body’s hormones for proper functioning of our immune system.
What is referred to as essential fat is the type of fat needed to do just that — help the body function well. We also have fat in our breasts, genitals, and muscle tissue.
Essential fat is stored in the bone marrow heart, lungs, liver; spleen, kidneys, intestines, muscles and other organs. The percentage of essential fat is higher in women than in men.
Women need more fat than men because of childbirth demands on the body, as well as other hormonal functions.
In men, essential fat is approximately 3 percent of body weight. Women, however, have a higher percentage of essential fat - about 12 percent. Generally speaking, a female’s essential fat is 10-12% and a male’s is 2-4%.
Storage fat lies beneath the skin and serves as insulation and nutritional reserve; it also protects internal organs from trauma.
Nonessential fat is the result of taking in more calories than you burn. When nonessential fat accumulates in excessive amounts, an individual may become overweight.

What Does It Take To Lose Weight?
August 30, 2008
Weight loss is perhaps one of the most often made resolutions just like it is also one of the most commonly broken resolves by the middle of February if not sooner. Finding a diet that will work for you is at the heart of the issue, yet with so many diets on the market, how will you know which one is right for you?.
Unless you are actively trying to lose weight by exercising and dieting, it’s a serious problem. Working off weight is all about creating healthy habits. Before you can do that, you have to let go of unreachable goals and replace them with real ones.
Fat loss is simple, burn more calories then you consume. If you can fully understand that then you are on your way to losing weight. Motivation and focus creates more energy and improved self-esteem along with feeling a sense of control over one’s body and one’s health.
Weight loss is really hard to achieve by yourself. It takes encouragement, support, and a community of like-minded folks who are determined to make a difference. If you can lose from 6 to 11 pounds (3 to 5 kgs), or 5 to 7 percent of your body mass for a year or more you’re on a successful track.
Losing pounds is something that concerns everyone as less work and easy lifestyle is making every one overweight. Losing weight is not tough, but losing weight systematically is something which takes time and proper care.
Burning fat is yet another example of ’slow and steady’ winning the race. Rather than trying to drop a size by tomorrow, set a goal of 1 to 2 pounds (no more than 1 kg) per week.
One must be very motivated, disciplined, patient, have a weight loss plan, be able to follow specific and realistic daily and weekly goals, and be honest with oneself. Weight loss is a precise nutritional marker and represents an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure.
