![🍝There are many many bad choices you can make when you want to lose body fat.
Understandable, with all these myths circling around.
What you *should* do (image) and their reasons:
1. For every 14 g of fiber you eat, you intuitively consume 10% less calories per day (if you're not tracking) [Howarth 2001]. This is because it keeps you full longer.
2. Sleeping only 5.5 instead of 7.5 hours a night makes you lose up to 60%(!) less fat [Nedeltcheva 2010].
3. High volume, low calorie veggies prevent you from feeling sluggish and hungry all day. I suggest zucchini, squash, green pepperbell, and pickles.
4. Liquids like tea, (decaf) coffee (with a splash of milk) and diet soda keep your hunger at bay.
Reasons for things you should *not* do:
1. Water stores and stomach/intestine food content change from day to day depending on many factors, like hormones, salt intake, your stool, your sleep, stress levels, etc. A bottle of water can add 1 lb to your weight in less than a minute.
2. In a dieting phase, sometimes weight loss comes to a sudden halt. A plausible theory tells us that when fat is burnt from fat cells, the body temporarily replaces this fat with water. Suddenly, this water is 'whooshed' away, with a steep drop in weight.
3. Adding those avocado and nuts to your salad *might* make it "healthy" (what does that even mean?). But it *will* increase its calories to that of an average double whopper. To lose fat, you need to consume less calories than you expend. Period.
