Food Food Glorious Food .......... in moderation

A calorie/kilojoules deficit guarantees fat loss.

Fat loss is about achieving a calorie/kilojoules deficit.

It is not about how many days you walk, run, jog, ride, train, or lift. It’s not about your hormones, your genetics, your body chemistry, your body shape, your star sign or the latest greatest machine. 

It is just as simple as ‘calorie/kilojoules in’ versus ‘calorie/kilojoules out’

That being said, achieving your calorie/kilojoules deficit with food alone is only 70% of the job.  The best way to achieve a calorie/kilojoules deficit is when you combine it with physical activity. The successful approach is to do this food/activity combo consistently. 

Consistency is achieved when planning and preparation is clear, flexible and sustainable. Goal making is so important. Without a concise realistic goal, (written down, and looked at daily), you will have real trouble sticking to your guns. Tweak your plans and preparation as you go along so it’s sustainable, enjoyable and flexible with your life, your kids, your family, your job, your partner, your mates, and your social life.  We have a hell of a lot to juggle, so make plans !

If you increase your cardio, be certain your calorie/kilojoules intake stays the same.  If you do more physical activity you must stop yourself from eating more.

How many times do you hear people say, “I can eat this mars bar I went to gym this morning.”  WRONG DUDE, you are going to gym this morning to burn/use yesterday’s calories and this morning’s breakfast.  Remember why you have made these changes.  It has nothing to do with that mars bar.

Now I will never deny a person the right to chocolate. That would be insane. So have a mars bar (or packet chips or whatever) each fortnight if you want, but put it in your plan, and prepare for it.  Maybe you could plan your food for that day to be just a little smaller portion to accommodate your junk food fix.
