Losing weight is all about creating a caloric deficit.

This is the only way, 100% of the time.

The way you create that deficit is what alternates between each individual based on lifestyle, age, medical conditions etc.

Here are 3 REALLY EASY ways to create a deficit and start losing weight, if you’re stuck.

1. Fasting. Reduce the amount of time you spend eating and you’ll typically eat less.

2. Drop the alcohol. If you eat “healthy” 5 days a week but socially drink every single weekend, that’s the reason you’re not making any progress on the scale or in the mirror. Alcohol isn’t the devil most preach it is, but it’s very easy to overconsume and leads to binge eating. Overall, drink less and you’ll lose weight.

3. Stand/walk more. If your job requires you to sit 8 hours a day, spend 15 minutes every hour standing. This is going to add TWO HOURS of standing each day that you didn’t normally have, which will create a deficit without even changing your diet. Choose the stairs over the elevator. Park farther from the store or the office. Get a walking pad.

The answer to your weight loss doesn’t have to be some articulate plan that feels overwhelming. Ultimately, for our BIG goals that will be inevitable. But to start, make better choices that are easy to implement and go from there.

All it takes is some self evaluation and then the willpower to do what’s necessary.
