Do you struggle with weight loss or shed a few pounds only to see them come back in a short period? Have you tried all types of diets under the sun but have little to nothing to show for it? On the other hand, you might see people eating a boatload of carbs and still maintaining a healthy body weight, making you feel like you have a metabolism problem.
Let’s get one thing straight from the outset – whether you just want to lose a few pounds or get ripped to the bone, diet and exercise are the key. You need to eat less and move more to create a caloric deficit. Faced with a calorie shortfall, your body will have no choice but to start burning fat for fuel. The larger the deficit, the more fat you’ll burn, but most people should aim for around 1-2 pounds per week. More than that is usually unsustainable.
