A lot of people understand that they DO need to eat less and move more to lose fat.
You need to create a calorie deficit - which the above will do if you do enough of one or both.
This isn't the mistake.

The mistake is not managing the process intelligently with numbers and data.
"BORING!"
I hear you.

Most people have no clue how many calories they should eat for sustainable weight loss.
They just decrease calories in by *as much as possible*
and increase calories out by *as much as possible*
This is a terrible, terrible idea.

The sweet spot for fat loss is a 20-25% deficit below your maintenance calories.
If you don't have an idea of what your maintenance calories are...
and you don't have a clue how many calories you're eating..
You can EASILY end up in a 40 or 50% calorie deficit.

This is totally unsustainable.
It will feel HORRIBLE.
- You'll have zero energy.
- Your workouts will be torture.
- Your sleep will suffer.
- You'll have intense cravings.
- You'll be miserable.
- You'll lose muscle mass.
- You'll weaken your immune system.
The worst part? ⤵️

You'll last a few weeks at most before you cave in.
You'll probably binge eat a load of calories.
When the dust settles, self loathing will probably set in and you'll have thoughts like "why am I such a failure?"

The next day, the scale will be up (a lot).
That's because your weight loss so far has been mostly water weight and due to reduced food content in your gut...
Now you've regained the water and food weight (and then some) & the scale shows it - but you don't understand this...

So you give up!
"Diets don't work!"
"Eat less and move more doesn't work!"
"You just regain all the weight at the end!"
Well.. that feels true because it's been your experience.
But I'm sorry to say... you haven't done it properly!

There IS a better way.
It takes a small amount more effort... (really, it's NOT that hard to track foods - how badly do you want this?)
And when you're tracking, you realise you can fit stuff in that you thought you weren't "allowed", whilst still making progress!
