I bet you’ve heard at least once that “hormones help you dictate how your body responds” when losing fat. And I agree. Hormones influence a lot of processes in our body… including the change in our weight. For instance, the thyroid is the one that regulates your metabolism …or how could I forget about insulin,
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
The other day, someone asked me this questions on a forum: “What are the best exercises to lose belly fat?” Now, while I really think it’s a genuine concern this person had, in reality it doesn’t make any sense. Why? Because there’s no such a thing as exercises for fat loss… just as there aren’t
Here’s one of the main problems with the fitness industry. One day, you found out a new study that supports a current diet and everyone starts believing that’s the “ultimate” diet to lose weight. Or… you see a very dramatic transformation online following a particular regimen and feel like it’s the only way to lose
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
Here’s a simple truth that everyone should know… and the moment you accept this as a truth, you’ll be able to not worry about dieting again. Ready? Losing fat is straightforward. Keeping it off is where the game is. Not an easy pill to digest, I know. Let me explain. Not only choosing a terrible
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),
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
Let me be clear on this thing with diets… with losing fat, to be precise. Whether you’re 13, 43… or 71, it only matters one thing when you want to lose those extra pounds. That thing is that you eat below your current maintenance calories. Period. So let me give you an example: When I
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
