lets talk about calorie deficit

​When it comes to losing body fat, creating a calorie deficit is often necessary. A calorie deficit means consuming fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. The concept is based on the principle of energy balance: if you consistently consume more calories than you are burning off, you will gain weight. The same goes for if you consistently consume less calories than you expend, you will lose weight.

Here's why a calorie deficit is typically recommended for losing body fat:
.
The balancing act: The body stores excess calories from food in the form of fat. By consuming fewer calories than your body needs, you force it to tap into its fat stores to make up the energy deficit. This leads to a reduction in body fat over time.
.
Fat storage: When you consume more calories than your body requires, the extra calories are converted into triglycerides and stored as body fat. By creating a calorie deficit, you decrease the supply of readily available calories, encouraging the body to utilize stored fat for energy.
.
Metabolism: When you consistently consume fewer calories, your body adjusts its metabolic rate to some extent to conserve energy. However, this adjustment is not significant enough to have no effect on the calorie deficit, and weight loss can still happen.

While a calorie deficit is an effective strategy for losing body fat.

It is so important to do it in a balanced and sustainable way. I recommended that you combine a moderate calorie deficit with a well balanced diet and to not fall into the trap of heavily relying on supplements or liquid diets, use real foods. Incorporate regular exercise with a combination of weights and some form of cardio based exercise i.e. hiking, walking crosstrainer.
