The O N L Y thing you need to lose weight…
(here’s a hint: it’s not a tea, a supplement, a cleanse or any of that crap) ☕️ ...is a CALORIE DEFICIT. 🤯
If you hear a lot about those two words that probably means you’re on your own fitness journey, and that you’re probably following a lot of pretty credible sources. 🥳🥳
I’m going to let you in on a secret: EVERY DIET WORKS.
Keto, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, calorie counting, tracking macros, Atkins, South Beach, Paleo, Intermittent Fasting, I could go on and on here, there’s more diets out there hairs on my head (at least the non NBR hairs on my head lol). 😂👱🏼♀️
But every single one of those diets (when used to help you lose weight) accomplishes one goal: giving your body a little bit LESS than you need to maintain your weight AKA creating a deficit. 🍌🍎🍊
When you create that deficit you force your body to burn through it’s fat stores for the extra energy it needs, which is HOW weight loss happens! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
If you’re not sure which diet is right for you, ask yourself one thing: “which structure will work for ME long term?” 🧐
If you LOVE your carbs just like I do, Keto isn’t going to be your jam, since it pretty eliminates them from your meals, creating a deficit.
If you don’t mind skipping breakfast or meals late-night, Intermittent Fasting might be something to look into.
The BEST diet for you is honestly the one you can stick to! 🙌🏼
I’ve always loved tracking macros because there’s seriously nothing off limits. I can eat cheese, ice cream, seafood, cereal, fruit, you name it, as long as it fits within my goal numbers. 🤓
But I also don’t work well being told what I can and can’t do, because the second you tell me I can’t have cheese, that’s going to be the only thing I want moving forward lol 🙃
Anyone else always stay wanting what they can’t have? 😅
Long story short here: be careful to not get swept up in what you feel like you SHOULD be doing (bootcamp, meal prepping, cutting out all of your fave foods) and focus on finding a method that works for YOU and YOUR LIFESTYLE to keep yourself happy, healthy and in a consistent deficit long term 🤓
