@its.primetime: If you're still cutting out entire food groups or starving yourself, you're on the fast track to frustration. The secret isn't a restrictive diet; it's energy balance and smart fueling. Here's the breakdown of what actually matters for long-term, sustainable results: Stop Fearing Carbs: Your body and brain need carbs for energy, especially if you're working out. Cutting them out leads to fatigue, irritability, and — most importantly — a lack of consistency with your diet. Your diet will fail not because of carbs, but because you can't stick to a miserable plan. Eat your rice, potatoes, and oats! Calorie Deficit is KING: Forget every other diet fad. The single, non-negotiable rule of fat loss is being in a caloric deficit—meaning you consistently burn more calories than you consume. Tracking your calories is the most reliable way to guarantee you're in that deficit. This is the foundation; everything else is optimization. Protein is Your Superpower: Make protein a priority in every meal. Eating a high-protein diet makes fat loss easier for two main reasons: Satiety: It keeps you feeling full longer, which naturally helps you eat less overall. Thermic Effect (TEF): Protein requires significantly more energy to digest and process than fats or carbs. That means you burn more calories just by eating it! The takeaway: Don't eliminate foods you love. Focus on hitting your caloric deficit while prioritizing protein and including carbs for fuel. That's the formula for easy, sustainable fat loss. #caloricdefict #gym #fatloss
