This is EXACTLY how to lose weight
Today we’re gonna cut through the confusion of weight loss in the most simple fashion possible!
If you want to lose weight the ONLY thing you need is a calorie deficit.
If you want the slow and steady route, cut out about 200 calories a day. You can do this for a long time without much metabolic adjustment.
If you want to lose faster, cut out about 25-35% of your calories a day. If you go this route, you only do this for a short amount of time, say 4 weeks at a clip, before eating maintenance-level calories for a week-ish.
If you want to lose fat, not just weight, make sure to keep protein levels at about 25-35% of your total calories. It will also help to strength train.
Carbs and fats are interchangeable. I repeat, carbs and fats are interchangeable!
That means it does not matter which you choose to eat provided you keep your protein at the same amount AND you have a calorie deficit.
I eat mostly carbs. Most of my clients do too because they tend to have higher volume than fatty foods. The more volume, the more full you’ll feel eating your food.
For example, imagine the volume difference between 150 calories of broccoli and 150 calories of nuts. Your tum-tum notices too! 😉
And if all these numbers make your head spin, start here:
Eat ONLY when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied.
Walk 8-10K steps a day
Sleep 7-9 hours a day
Drink only non-calorie beverages when possible (at minimum try to aim for less than 175 calories a day from beverages when in a calorie deficit)
Eat a non-starchy veggie at EVERY meal.
Don’t overcomplicate this….it truly is this simple!
Consistency is the name of the game when it comes to weight loss. So figure out which of these you think you can do 6 out of 7 days a week and start there!
