1 Taking weight loss pills This is the most common method that people used. The source of medicine may come from doctors, pharmacies, or even from illegal sources. Is it safe? Well, it depends on what type of medicine you are taking. Most of these pills work on your brain. Either it stimulates your brain to feel full or it suppresses your brain to feel not hungry. Either ways, it affects your brain. The side effects you will get vary upon your body. The side effects can range from mild dizziness to severe hallucination. Some people died from using weight loss pills. You have to be very careful if you decide to use medicine for your weight loss program. Besides, don’t forget the yo-yo effect you will get afterward. 2 Liposuction – Suck your fat out This type of operation is widely done in modern countries and the cost is expensive. Does it work? Of course, you lose fat right after the operation. Is it dangerous? It depends on the doctor who operates you. If you are not allergic to drugs, the safety is rather high. The point is whether the method is effective long run. Unless you change your eating behavior, you will become fat again. And I don’t think that you should do the liposuction several times in your life. I would not do that if it were me. 3 Gastric bypass – Cut your stomach out This is another rapid way to lose weight. Doctor will cut you in and take out part of your stomach. When you have smaller stomach, you will eat less. The theory is simple but the procedure is complicated. It will be a major operation and it can cause several side effects. It can be dangerous if the complication occurs. Besides, your stomach can enlarge if you consistently eat more afterward. There are a few other rapid fat loss methods that I don’t mention here since they are too dangerous and not worthwhile to be mentioned here.

There are many ways to know if a person loses fat. You can just look at their physical appearance and tell. You can just weigh him and compare with his previous weight. However, those are just normal ways which may not be accurate. This article will give you a more accurate way. It will show you how to measure body fat loss accurately.
The tip is that we are going to use the parameter called “Body Mass Index” or BMI. This is more accurate because we not only use your weight as the main index, but we also use your height. Here is the formulation to calculate your BMI.
Body Mass Index is a parameter that shows your body mass using your weight and height to be calculated. It is used to lessen the inaccuracy of measuring just your weight without using height.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is equal to your weight in kilogram divided by your weight in meters two times. And this is how to read the value you got from the formulation.
Below 20 : Your weight is below average.
20-24.9 : Your weight is standard.
25-29.9 : You are overweight.
30-39.9 : You are fat
More than 40 : You are obese.
As for Asian people, you will need to change the above number of 20 to 18.5.
You may wonder how you are going to determine and measure your fat loss using BMI. It is simple. You can use your current body mass index and compare with your past BMI. If it is lower, you have some body fat loss.
Another way is that you can use a fat measurement machine. Some special weighing scales do have that. With less than a hundred US dollar, you can get a scale like that. You can add your age and sex onto the parameters used in the scale. It is therefore more accurate than BMI.
I don’t recommend a small handheld machine to measure fat since it is not that accurate. If you want to buy handheld fat measurement machine, buy the one that requires you to use both hands to grip. They are more reliable.
