Can You Lose Fat Without Counting Calories?

Absolutely! Fat loss is a two-step procedure. The fat cell must first be coaxed, and then the fatty acid must get into the mitochondria of a muscle cell to be burned as fuel. Continue reading to discover the universal secrets I've utilized to assist myself and my clients release and burn fat 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Counting calories is impractical and doesn't guarantee fat loss. You can actually count calories and still cling on to stubborn body fat if you're making unintentional mistakes in your lifestyle, diet and exercise. The only time I ever counted macros in my life was for a bodybuilding competition. That experience was a complete mental and physical torture (LMAO). Unless you have an important event for which you need to look your absolute best, I don't recommend counting calories. What you need instead are three synergistic elements to burn fat.

Supportive Nutrition:

You can achieve fat loss without counting calories by adopting a supportive nutrition approach. Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues, practice portion control, and avoid liquid calories. Be mindful of snacking and limit processed and high-calorie foods. Stay hydrated, exercise regularly, get sufficient sleep, and be patient and consistent with your healthy eating habits. Remember that individual needs vary, so consider seeking guidance from a registered dietitian or healthcare professional for personalized support.

Aerobic exercise:

The word aerobic primarily means with oxygen. You are meeting the demand for oxygen and "capable" of burning fat anytime you are in the aerobic state. Are you in the aerobic state right now? Unless you're doing an all out strenuous exercise, you most definitely are in the aerobic state. Which means you are capable of burning fat even as you sleep, drive your car, etc. When you master and apply all three components correctly you go from capable to guaranteed fat loss. Please stop associating the word aerobic exercise with strenuous, long sessions of cardio. You can actually make yourself fatter if you do more cardio than your body's ability to sustain metabolism (muscle).

Resistance Exercise (Weight lifting):

Think of resistance exercise primarily as asking your body to do more work than it is use to. If you're a beginner exerciser or haven't worked out in a long time, performing 1 set of 3-6 movements for 10-20 reps is a good starting point on your first week. Then you can progress from there. Taking this progressive approach with your strength training program makes results predictable and prevent the dreaded plateau most people have to endure.

Conclusion: 

If you're fit or near fit, applying the above three elements will turn YOU into a sculptor with your body as the clay. If you fail to apply any one of the three elements correctly results will suffer at best. Also, If you have any chronic disease like diabetes, hypertension, eczema, dementia, etc... You will need an additional three elements (covered in my 7day detox program) to see positive change.
