SUCCESSFUL FAT LOSS & BODY SHAPING MEANS BEING CONSISTENT WITH THREE THINGS ⬇️
1️⃣ SUSTAINING A MODERATE CALORIE DEFICIT ⚖️ // consuming fewer calories than our body requires for activity forces the body into utilising internal fuel resources – typically body fat and muscle. This is the single most important factor for fat loss. No calorie deficit, no fat loss!
2️⃣ STRENGTH TRAINING x1-4 TIMES PER WEEK ??♀️ // to reshape your body AND to encourage the burning of body fat over muscle whilst in a calorie deficit
3️⃣ ENSURING SUFFICIENT PROTEIN INTAKE ? // to further encourage the burning of body fat over muscle whilst in a calorie deficit. Also to aid repair and recovery post training … AND to help manage hunger levels
The image above illustrates the importance of each, so you can focus your energy most effectively ? From most important to least important …
⭐ CALORIE DEFICIT
⬇️ STRENGTH TRAINING
⬇️ PROTEIN INTAKE
⬇️ CARDIO
⬇️ SLEEP & STRESS
Above all, however, is ensuring that the above are underpinned with sustainability and consistency. Note that we’re looking for ‘consistently good enough’ and NOT ‘consistently perfect’ ? Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes we have to roll with the punches!
Even the most fantastic plan won’t work if it’s not realistic ?
Stay awesome & keep going! ?
