How in the world can someone lose pounds on the scale but look worse!?!⠀
⠀
Because fat loss & weight loss are NOT the same!!🤭⠀
⠀
Weight can come from a lot of things; fat, muscle, bone, water, hair, etc.⠀
⠀
Just cuz the your “weight” went done on the scale doesn’t always mean it came solely from fat.⠀
⠀
But how does this happen?⠀
⠀
Caloric reduction WITHOUT the focus on macronutrient profile is the biggest contributor☝🏼.⠀
⠀
Yes, to lose weight you need to reduce calories. The probably is no one was every taught where those calories should come from!⠀
⠀
A majority of people look at “reduce calories” and they will simply cut out everything. Protein, fat, and carbs.⠀
⠀
Causing the scale to go down but they only look like a smaller version of themselves.⠀
⠀
I’m order to actually change your body composition and lose mostly fat, calories do need to be reduced.⠀
⠀
BUT! Those calories need to come primarily from fats & carbohydrates.⠀
⠀
Keeping protein high (1g-1.3g per pound of body weight) will ensure what you keep most of your muscle mass during a fat loss phase.⠀
⠀
I only say most because it is inevitable that your gonna lose some muscle mass.⠀
⠀
But we can DRASTICALLY reduce this by make sure protein is adequate. ⠀
⠀
Take your macros.⠀
⠀
Understand what your food consists of. ⠀
⠀
If your goal is cosmetic and you wanna look a certain way this is essential.⠀
