›› SI base quantity: mass

This category of measurement units is defined by the "weight" type, which is an SI derived quantity. The SI base unit is defined by the "mass" type. Weight and mass are technically different quantities. Mass is an intrinsic property of matter. Weight is a force that results from the action of gravity on matter. For common usage, weight is directly proportional to mass so this distinction is not critical to unit conversions.

If you're interested in fat loss, there's an online diet with a funny name that's supposed to help you lose 9 lbs every 11 days. It's called Fat Loss 4 Idiots and it describes a new method to lose weight.

Most low fat or low carb diets don't work that well because you end up losing energy and feeling weak. This program uses something called "calorie shifting" to give you really effective weight loss. The idea is to follow a menu that shifts the types of calories you eat each day to lose weight while maintaining high energy.

One of the benefits of using an online diet generator is that you can easily track your progress from anywhere and compute the calories for each meal automatically. There's information to help you buy the right groceries, eat regularly spaced meals, and lose fat through a structured program.
