4 simple fat loss tips (DO's and DON'Ts)

Hey team,

Happy Wednesday!

If you are looking to either (1) trim up or (2) lose fat, here are a few hacks you can implement TODAY that will start making a dramatic impact:

(1) I preach on this non-stop, but calculate your ideal protein number and stick to it! Eating a diet high in protein has been shown to aid in both fat loss AND developing lean muscle mass and is the easiest place to start. If you don't know how much protein you should be eating, be sure to checkout the nutrition assessment on the Functional Fitness Secrets 101 course.

(2) DON'T increase the intensity of your workouts, but rather the amount of overall activity you do in an entire day. So many people turn to lengthening their workouts when they are on a fat loss journey. And though this (obviously) can aid in fat loss, it is probably leaving them mentally and physically drained for just about anything else in their life. Instead, choose to increase your overall daily activity (i.e. take more steps, go for an extra 20-30 minute walk, take the stairs at work, park at the back of the parking lot, etc). Truthfully, this practice will provide you with much faster results than trying to go on some psycho exercise plan that will likely lead to burn out or injury.

(3) Have a fasting window of AT LEAST 12-hours per night. Not only will this aid in digestion and better sleep, but will also help you refrain from eating for 12-hours per day and simply make it easier to get into a caloric deficit.

(4) Last (but probably the most important) - if you are not eating in a caloric deficit, you will not lose fat (or weight, for that matter). Period. And in order to know whether or not you are in a caloric deficit, you have to track your food consumption. At least for a little while until you get a grasp of what you should be eating every day to stay in a caloric deficit.

I hope this helps - if you guys have any specific questions surrounding this topic, be sure to drop them in the comments!
