First of all a calorie deficit will work 100% but you have to be in a calorie deficit to loose weight drop body fat
Your not in a calorie deficit if you are making these mistakes
1️⃣ your not tracking the little extras as bites licks tasting cooking as you go along the day, snacking + finishing some one else food all these examples add up way faster than most people realise we’re you go wrong
2️⃣ your eyeballing calorie dense foods example peanut butter olive oil dressings avocado are all very good healthy foods but very easy to underestimate the calories a small amount can turn into hundreds of calories
3️⃣ your eating healthy foods but to much of them because your being healthy does not mean your in a calorie deficit health food automatically does not mean that is just going do it on its own those foods can still be high in calories
4️⃣ your moving less than you think because your doing your normal movements still may not be enough, your calorie burn may be much lower than you assume
5️⃣ you are not eating enough protein i hear and see all a time oh no i eat loads chicken fish but are you hitting what you need to be hitting for your body weight, eating more protein has so many benefits for fat loss it will keep you fuller for longer throughout the day and stop you wanting to snack in between keeping calories down, and you need to preserve your muscle as you loose weight drop body fat
6️⃣ weekends are not a free pass example say your calories are 1600 a day in your deficit all week and you do not track your calories at weekends or relax with your food a bit more at weekends eat more than you should this can put you right back you will then not be eating 1600 calories as your deficit is 7 days a week not 5 so that mean your calories could work out at over 2,000 calories a day and more that means you will be in a slight surplus/gain or keep maintaining your weight
If you are truly in a calorie deficit you will 💯 loose weight and that is facts and if you are burning more calories than you are eating you will 💯 loose weight also
When things are not going were you want them to
be honest with yourself
