The reduction in fat mass results in the loss of Height, Weight, Body Composition, Lean Body Mass and sometimes skinfold measurements. Your body minerals may also be depleted as a result of less intake from food. In summary, losing weight can mean a decrease in overall body size, weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, psychological factors such as self-esteem and constant monitoring of body image and finally on average about one third of an individual's daily caloric needs are replaced by energy derived from stored carbohydrate or saved protein stores (1).
