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
Chances are you have heard about body fat set point before… it’s the tendency of your body to keep the same fat levels you have in your body. Said in another way,… it’s the way for your body to stay on the same body fat levels (on average). And in case the definition of body
How many times have you tried losing weight by simply cutting out your calories? If it didn’t go as planned, there’s a simple reason for that. Cutting calories won’t give you results. (Not in the way most people do it, at least). You see, the way most people go about it is that once they
It’s said that whenever we talk about calories we disregard hormones. Funny enough, it’s the exact opposite. Energy balance is affected by hormones and vice versa. It’s a matter of influence that goes in both ways, not a one-direction path. What’s more, energy balance is based on certain things like how many calories does your
You can lose 10+ pounds per month just as you can lose less, that’s for sure, but… the issue is not how much weight you can lose, the issue is how long can you keep that weight you lose. Here’s why. Let’s say you go through a 12-week diet where you do Intermittent Fasting (it
If there’s one area that pretty much everyone (I don’t know anyone who’s the exception) wants to be gone is their belly area. That’s why they do things like: Cardio (regardless of the sessions you do per week or if it’s HIIT or not). Train abs at least 3 times per week Go crazy low
If you think that the Glycemic Index (GI) and spikes in insulin caused by certain foods are important to losing weight, then here’s why that’s not the case. But first, let’s understand where this myth is coming from. It just happens that whenever we eat carbs, our body needs to break them down to their
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” If you were to get one dollar every time you hear a doctor, a friend or a neighbor say it… Maybe you could have enough to go for a 2-week vacation to Hawaii. Well, not sure about that, but what if I told you that this
There’s this misconception about protein powder out there. Many think it’s somehow magical while others think they can’t see results if they don’t take it on a daily basis. In fact, some people still think there’s this 30-minute anabolic window where if they don’t take it after their workout, they are not maximizing protein synthesis
Whether you’re at 1,500kcal… 1,00kcal, or even lower… there are some cases where you can gain weight (even when you’re eating low calories). Here’s why. In many cases, it’s because whether what you think is a deficit right now for you to lose weight… in reality, your metabolism has adapted to the point that it’s
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
If you were to say that GI is important, you’d be right. But at the same time, you would be focusing only on one area rather than in the whole scenario. Let me explain. It’s not uncommon to hear that people should avoid high glycemic index food since that causes spike in insulin, thus leading
