If you want to lose weight, you DON’T need to cut calories.

The majority of weight-loss programs start by restricting calories and meticulously monitoring macronutrients.This makes sense in theory.Lose weight by eating less than you burn each day.The body is unfortunately convoluted.

Energy is measured in calories.It is the amount of heat required to increase a kilogram of water's temperature by one degree Celsius.

This measurement was developed by scientists in a controlled laboratory environment.There are no controlled variables inside your body.

So, comparing calories in vs. calories out is ineffective.

"For more than 30 years, medical professionals have advocated a low-fat, calorie-reduced diet as the preferred method of treating obesity. However, the obesity pandemic is growing.

Losing weight can undoubtedly result from calorie restriction.There is no question in my mind.

However, it is an unpleasant experience.

- Experiencing hormone imbalances, being cold, being hungry, having a bad mood, and becoming sick frequently

Even worse, the weight is easier to gain again.

When you reduce calories, both the rate of weight reduction and your metabolism slow down.Many people lose all drive and hope at this point and give up completely.

We're employing a distinctive strategy.Instead of just losing weight, we're concentrating on enhancing your health.Weight loss by employing this strategy:It is fun, sustainable, and improves quality of life.

  1. Protein first

If you're trying to reduce weight, protein should be your top priority.

You'll benefit from increased calorie burning, muscle growth, longer periods of sustained fullness, and protection of lean mass.

Per pound of body weight, aim for 1g per day.

For instance, eat 200g if you weigh 200 lbs.

2. 10000 steps daily

You'll burn more calories when you walk more.

A cheat code for weight loss is to walk 10,000 steps every day.

It's simple, cost-free, and efficient.

After each meal, take a brief stroll, park farther away, and use the stairs.

3. Improve Sleep

Lack of sleep prevents you from losing weight by:

• Altering your hunger and satiety hormones

• Increasing insulin resistance

• Reducing your daily movement

Make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

4. Lift Weights Three Times Weekly

By using weights, you can build muscle and speed up your metabolism. Both of these will significantly ease fat reduction.

3 times per week, lift something heavy.

5. Travel Regularly Twice Weekly

Especially thereafter, intense activity burns more fat than steady-state cardio. Cardio primarily burns glycogen, or sugar, as opposed to fat.

Aim for a work-to-rest ratio of around 1:1, for example, 30 seconds of hard effort followed by 30 seconds of easy work for 6–12 rounds.

6. Whole Foods 80/20

Your weight won't be affected by the occasional piece of cake if you consume complete foods 80% of the time.

I Promise.

You may continue to enjoy your favorite meals while also improving your health and losing weight by approaching nutrition with the 80/20 rule.

Foods to include:

• Meat

• Fish/seafood

• Raw dairy (sheep and goat are ideal)

• Vegetables

• Fruit

• Sourdough

• Fermented foods

7. Drink coffee

Two things are needed for fat loss:

• Mobilization, or removing items from storage

• Oxidization (fat burning)

Both of these benefit from coffee.

Drink one or two cups of black coffee daily.

8. Make exercising enjoyable.

The act of "working out" need not only involve visiting the gym.

Find a hobby you like to do.

I enjoy hiking and playing hockey.

You could wish to take your kids biking, golfing, or tennis.

Find exercises that you can do that don't feel like exercise.

9. Avoid sitting for more than an hour.

The new smoking is sitting. It is among the worst things you can do for your health and will hinder your attempts to lose weight.

Make an attempt to get up and move around every hour.

10. Stay hydrated

Water retention facilitates fat loss.We frequently mistake thirst for hunger when we think we're hungry.

You're less prone to overeat and snack in between meals if you stay hydrated.

Aim to consume 2 to 3 liters (L) or more of filtered, remineralized water daily.
