Weight loss foods

What are weight loss foods?

Can you eat foods that help you lose weight (weight loss foods)?  Well yes, and we all know what these are: wholefoods, being fresh vegetables and lean meats, however there’s a bit more to it then that.

In order to lose weight / drop body fat an individual needs to be in a calorific deficit, there are no two ways about it.

Macros (protein/fats/carbs) need to be set and can be adjusted accordingly in order to elicit a better response whether physical or mental. However once you have all these set in place you need to allow for some flexibility when it comes to food choices. Long gone are the days of chicken, broccoli and rice!

Now I’m not here to say that you should use a “if it fits your macros” approach, but I do believe that a combination of the two is the best method when creating a healthy sustainable fat loss plan.

Allowing yourself to include foods that you truly enjoy will show you that there is no need to be so restrictive in order to be successful. You do not need to suffer endlessly by removing all pleasure and joy.

However it is important to understand the calories you are consuming as most people (especially on the weekend) consume a significantly higher amounts of calories than they realise, which could stall their weight loss goals.

How to track your food intake?

The easiest and most simple way you can track your intake is to use a free app like myfitnesspal.

Try this for a week, which will give you a good idea of how many calories you are really consuming and what your macro breakdown percentage is. Knowing this information is vital when comes to making changes to your physique.
