Most people will say just be in a caloric deficit and do more cardio but doing a proper fat loss phase requires more attention to detail.
The goal here is to lose the fat for good and prevent it from coming back later on. Not to take the fastest road for results that last a couple of weeks.
This is how I approach fat loss with my clients:
Yes, there is a caloric deficit but sometimes there’s also a caloric increase or a phase where we find maintenance calories. The reason for this is because a large majority of people trying to lose weight are eating too little and aren’t fueling properly. Getting on a consistent caloric intake helps the body find a rhythm instead of depleting it of nutrients that could help.
We also look at habits. How is your sleep? Are you managing your stress properly or sweeping it under the rug? Does your lifestyle and mentality support your goals? All of these things play integral roles in seeing lasting change.
There’s no restriction, there’s creativity. This goes for food and for workouts. You don’t have to be in the gym 7 days a week or say goodbye to all the food you love. The goal is to remain consistent so making yourself miserable won’t help.
And before anything, I ask why? Not because I don’t believe you deserve to reach your goals but to find the deeper meaning. Do you want to be a stronger presence in your family? Do you need help with self-worth? Do you want to feel more capable or confident? This is where the real work happens. This is where we work from.
This is how my clients find lasting results.
