Raise your hand if you’ve heard at least once that you should eat fewer carbs to lose weight? Now raise your hand if you’ve heard it for fats? Ok, interesting. Well, I got some bad news to share. Whether you’ve tried to cut carbs or fasts out of your diet, it doesn’t really matter. Why?
If you’ve been trying to lose weight for any amount of time, you’ve heard that a common “advice” is eating clean. The basics are simple. Eliminate all the processed food and just eat vegetables and some lean meat, but… here’s why eating clean is the worst advice to lose weight. Let’s say you manage to
Intermittent fasting (IF), Paleo, Keto… (or any other popular diet) as much as you may like the idea behind them, there’s a problem. They are fad diets… regardless of how “scientific”, “breakthrough” and “magical” they may look like. Here’s something to look at. The idea behind fad diets is that they start raising due to
How many times have you been on a deficit to lose weight? I bet in some cases you’ve simply created a big deficit by eating way less than before. But here are the bad news… If you’re in a deficit and you’re not losing any weight, then it means you’re not on a real deficit.
Losing weight is simple. You just need to eat less than you’re eating to create a caloric deficit, right? Yes and no. I agree you need to create a caloric deficit to lose weight (that’s literally the only way)… and you can do this either by eating less or exercising more. The thing is… as
If you think that calories are important to the point you need to track every step you take, here’s something to consider. Calories are important, not only to understand them but to keep track of them. The thing is… Most people get too obsessed with them to the point they pay attention to things that
If you feel like there’s some protein powder specific for fat loss, here’s something to think about. This common idea of having ‘tools’ targeted to our goal is great, yet… It doesn’t mean it’s right. Let me show you why. Protein is protein, no matter what goal you’re going after. Whether you want to build
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
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),
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
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
