If your goal is to lose weight (specifically body fat), there’s one thing that must happen:
You need to be in a calorie deficit.
That means you’re consuming fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight.
When that happens, your body turns to stored energy (aka body fat) to make up the difference and that’s when fat loss occurs.
Think of it like a budget:
If you spend more money than you earn, you dip into your savings.
If you burn more energy than you eat, you dip into your stored fat.
Now, it’s important to understand:
You can be eating healthy foods and still not lose weight if you’re not in a deficit.
Avocados, nuts, protein, roots, and veggies are all great but calories still count.
Here’s the key:
To sustainably lose weight, you want to create a small-to-moderate deficit.
Drastic cuts might work short term, but they usually lead to fatigue, muscle loss, and weight regain.
Combine a calorie deficit with:
• Enough protein
• Resistance training
• Good sleep and stress management
And now you’re setting yourself up for real, lasting change.
Not sure how to figure out what your calorie needs are or how to create a smart deficit?
That’s what we’re here for.
