Ever wonder why popular diets work? It's because they tinker with either the "what," "how (much)," or "when" of eating.
Remember, fat loss boils down to eating less than we burn, so here are and here are three straightforward (though not necessarily easy) tactics to dial down your intake. These strategies are the very reasons popular diets like keto, low fat, intermittent fasting, macro counting, and vegetarianism can work their magic.
The When: Timing is Everything
You might have heard the buzz about intermittent fasting – it's all about "when" you eat. By narrowing down your eating hours, you naturally eat less, making it simpler to control those calories. Play around with different eating windows till you find what works for you.
The How (much): Calorie Crunching
Classic calorie-cutting and counting is a fat loss staple. Keep an eye on portions and opt for nutrient-dense foods – that's the key to creating a calorie deficit, which can lead to weight loss. And now, let's add in the magic of macro counting. Tracking your protein, carbs, and fats can give you an edge in managing your intake and reaching your goals
The What: Mindful Picks
Tightening the reins on certain food groups, like carbs or fats, or even ditching whole food groups (hi there, vegetarians!), can also slash your calorie intake. By giving certain options the boot, you end up eating less simply because you have fewer options to choose from.
Your Choice, Your Power
There is no one-size-fits-all rulebook here, and that's the best part! You're, calling the shots and you get to decide what works for you.
