Maximize Fat Loss: 3 Simple Tips for Real Results
Not sure where to start in your fat loss journey?
Check out The Top 3 Fat Loss Tips to help you get started on your journey...…
#1 Create a Caloric Deficit
The key to fat loss is burning more calories than you consume. This can be achieved by reducing your calorie intake through diet changes and increasing your calorie expenditure with exercise.
A moderate caloric deficit (e.g., 250-500 fewer calories per day) helps you lose fat without drastically affecting your energy or metabolism.
Focus on (REAL FOODS) nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats, which can help you stay full and satisfied while consuming fewer calories.
#2 Incorporate Strength Training and Cardio
A combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise is crucial for fat loss. Strength training helps build muscle, which increases your resting metabolic rate, allowing you to burn more calories even at rest. Cardio (HIIT, Sled Pushes, Assault Bike) helps burn additional calories during the workout, contributing to a higher total calorie burn.
Aim for 2-3 strength training sessions per week and 2-3 cardio sessions or 3 Legit Total Body Workouts combining both per week to maximize fat loss and maintain lean muscle mass.
#3 Prioritize Sleep & Manage Stress
Lack of sleep and chronic stress can increase hunger and cravings, particularly for high-calorie, comfort foods. Sleep deprivation can also disrupt your hormones, leading to increased appetite and fat storage. Managing stress and getting 6-8 hours of quality sleep each night is essential for fat loss.
Do your best to develop a relaxing bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed... a cool dark room, and eye mask has helped me a ton.
#4... BONUS Don't Abuse Drugs and Alcohol
This should go without saying, but limiting the booze does wonders for how lean you can be. Motivation is often temporary, but connecting deeply to why you’re working out will give you lasting drive. Whether it’s for health, confidence, strength, or a sense of accomplishment, tapping into your emotional reasons makes you less likely to quit when the going gets tough.
By combining these strategies—caloric deficit, exercise (strength training + cardio), and proper sleep & stress management—you’ll be on your way to effective and sustainable fat loss.
