The other day, I was reading some articles in Medium about fat loss. To my surprise, I found a well-known doctor making some posts. But what really caught my attention was one of his articles that he posted 4 years ago, titled “The Useless concept of calories”. It was quite a good article with some
The more you cut rice (or any carb), the higher the chances of you gaining your weight back. Here’s why. In many cultures, people consume a lot of rice as part of their daily meals. But when they want to lose weight, they first turn to remove this food from their diets… which can end
If you haven’t managed to keep the weight off you lose when dieting, this may be the reason. You see, one thing many people do when they have tried to lose fat at least more than once without being able to sustain those results is quite the opposite of what they should. Once they saw
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
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,
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.
What do you need to do to follow a caloric deficit properly? That’s the question someone asked me on a forum the other day, so I feel that my answer can help you as well. Here’s my reply: ————————- “I would focus on what you can control, first and foremost. You cannot control how much

How many times have you to diet and lose fat all at once, just to later on find out you have gained the weight back… sometimes even more? Even if your answer is just once, I wouldn’t be surprised. You see, most people want to lose the weight they have to lose (let’s say 25lbs
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

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
