What's the best diet to lose fat?

Whats the "best" diet to lose fat???

First it's important to understand that any

diet that causes fat loss does so through

creating an overall negative energy

balance. At the most basic level you must

expend more energy than you consume.

Despite the never ending BS on the internet

this basic law can not be broken. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

The word "diet" has a lot of negative

connotations associated with it and

rightfully so. How many times have you

seen someone do an unsustainable "diet"

and lose weight for a little while only to

quickly rebound right back to where they

were before? This is both physically and

emotionally damaging. When I say "diet" I

mean nothing more than the foods you

choose to eat.

One of the most common mistakes is

attempting to lose weight too quickly or

"crash diet". You may lose weight very fast

for a short time, but this inevitably results in

muscle loss, increased hunger signals and

for some uncontrollable urges to over eat. If

you've ever found yourself in this place you

know how hard it is to not over consume or

even eat to the point of discomfort. Pair this

with your now slower metabolism and you

have a recipe for rapid fat gain. This

unfortunately is a very common pattern.

The best "diet" to lose fat is the one that

you can personally stick with long term.

What works best for you might look a lot

different from someone else. It's important

to have a healthy and flexible mindset

around food. Try not to get caught up in the

"bad foods" vs "good foods" mentality.

Instead focus on total energy in vs energy

out and make sure to include foods that

you personally enjoy eating.

The goal is to create a small energy deficit

that results in about a 1% loss in body

weight per week on average. If you have

more to lose it can be a little higher than 1%

and if you are leaner it should be a little

less. This slower rate of weight loss will

ensure that the weight you do lose is mostly

body fat and not muscle. It will also keep

your hunger levels in check and energy

levels up.

Along with a small energy deficit you should

eat an optimal amount of protein and

include resistance training at least three

times per week. Doing so will help you

retain if not build muscle as you lose body

fat and help keep your metabolism firing on

all cylinders.

The two biggest killers of obtaining the

body you want is LACK OF PATIENCE and

INABILITY TO STAY CONSISTENT LONG

TERM! It takes time to transform your body!

Hope this helps! ✌️
