Whether you’re hitting the gym hard or just getting started, these 3 truths will keep your weight loss journey on track:
⸻
1️⃣ Calorie Deficit = Fat Loss 🔥
No matter how much you work out, you won’t lose fat unless you’re in a calorie deficit—burning more than you eat.
✅ Track your intake
✅ Aim for a 300–500 cal/day deficit
💡 Fat loss starts in the kitchen.
⸻
2️⃣ Protein Protects Your Progress 💪
Protein helps keep muscle on and hunger down while you lose fat.
➡️ Goal: 0.7–1.0g per lb of body weight
✅ Chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, protein shakes
More muscle = higher metabolism.
⸻
3️⃣ Not All Carbs & Fats Are Bad 🧠
Don’t fear carbs or fat—choose better sources:
🥑 Healthy fats = avocados, olive oil, nuts
🍠 Smart carbs = fruit, sweet potatoes, oats
🚫 Ditch the processed junk.
Quality > quantity when it comes to fuel.
⸻
Consistency wins. Don’t starve yourself. Don’t quit when progress feels slow.
