Let’s picture this. You’ve been dieting for the past few weeks and you started to lose some weight (Congrats!), yet… one week, you noticed the scale wasn’t really moving. You wonder what exactly to do when you get to that point… Maybe it’s eating less? But how much less? What if next week all of
How many times have you heard the “avoid processed foods because they make you fat” narrative? This is only half true. Yes, you should try to pick more Whole Foods instead of processed foods, yet not for the reason you’re thinking. This is what many coaches and “experts” think it’s true, and I really don’t
The faster you can lose weight, the better… right? Well, here’s something to consider. I’ve seen people on forums and groups who try to lose from 1kg to 10kg per month. And while there’s nothing wrong with that… the question is… How much is a good rate? Well, it all goes down to whether you
There’s a simple way to add some pounds on Christmas, New Year,… even weekends. You just have to eat more of what you “should” and then you’ll gain some weight. That means, underestimating how much you’re eating and eating above your current calories. The thing is… Research says most people who gain weight during holidays
So someone asked me this question the other day on a forum: “Can I get a six pack without sticking to a certain diet? If so, how?” The simple answer… not really. The real and more complex answer… It’s hard to say. It doesn’t matter what diet you follow (whether that’s keto, intermittent fasting, etc),
Imagine that you’re going out to eat on a Friday with some friends. You had a lot of expectations to go out with them during the week, so you got ready for it. Then Friday comes by… You get to meet with your friends at a restaurant and start having a good time. You catch
Most people want to burn fat, but very few want to lose fat. Sounds kinda stupid, I know. Let me explain. If you thought that burning and losing fat were the same thing, let me show you that it’s not the case. One is the process of actually burning fat (I mean…) and the other
Let’s be clear on something. Nothing and no one will be able to beat the law of physics… and in this case, the law of thermodynamics. If you want to lose fat then you have to create a caloric deficit. Want to build muscle? Then create a caloric surplus. It’s that simple (no one said
All calories are not equal, right? Wrong. A calorie is a calorie, no matter what. It’s a unit for measuring heat. …But the underlying idea behind it is true. The best part is that it can give you a clear idea on why focusing on this can help you lose fat and gain muscle in
From all the diets, I chose these diets for 2 reasons: They are somewhat popular. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is always popular because of “autophagy” or the fact that you “burn fat while fasting because you’re using your reserves of fat”. Flexible diet seems to be the best thing since sliced bread. Eat what you want
From 3, 5 10 pounds to 50+ pounds, there is one way to lose all the fat you want. And yes, you can do this pretty much on demand. The best part is… it’s not a miracle diet, a supplement or some type of crazy routine you have to follow and stick to it. This
Many people go out there saying they are on a diet without paying attention to the real definition. To begin with, let’s explore the roots of the word diet. It comes from the greek diata, which means “a way of living” So this means that when you say “you’re on a diet”, in reality, you
Do you know why I’d rather lose 3-5 pounds of fat per month than 10+ of weight? Simply because it lets me know that the majority of the weight I lose will come from fat and not other tissues like muscle. There’s this idea that all weight loss is created equal. And they simply don’t
Whether 27 pounds sounds like a lot or a little for you, what matters is the way I did it to lose that weight… and how you can do the same to finally lose weight and keep it off. That being said, you should know something. This isn’t a magical diet or some type of
