Let me ask you a question, How many times have you heard the saying “not all calories are equal”? I’ve heard it a hundred times (maybe a hundred one with this one). And this saying makes sense. I mean, if you eat 100kcal of avocado (because it’s a healthy fat, right?…) is not the same
The moment you start cutting out some food from your diet, a lot of things start to happen. Both good and bad. The good things are that if you cut rice, pizza, ice cream or any other food… you can be pretty much confident you’ll lose weight. But not because there is anything inherently bad
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
Yesterday, someone in a forum asked me a very interesting question. “I have been eating 600 calories or less for a whole year now. I want to reverse my diet according to my BMR 1200. What should I do? I am facing a medical problem because of the low calories lifestyle.” Well, maybe I can
What would you do if I tell you that you need to eat more to lose fat? Doesn’t make sense, I know. You’ve heard a hundred times that to lose weight, you need to reduce your calories (AKA a caloric deficit)… and it’s true as that’s the only way to lose fat (regardless of what
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?
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
