Whether you’re hitting the gym hard or just getting started, these 3 truths will keep your weight loss journey on track: ⸻ 1️⃣ Calorie Deficit = Fat Loss 🔥 No matter how much you work out, you won’t lose fat unless you’re in a calorie deficit—burning more than you eat. ✅ Track your intake ✅ Aim for a 300–500 cal/day deficit 💡 Fat loss starts in the kitchen. ⸻ 2️⃣ Protein Protects Your Progress 💪 Protein helps keep muscle on and hunger down while you lose fat. ➡️ Goal: 0.7–1.0g per lb of body weight ✅ Chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, protein shakes More muscle = higher metabolism. ⸻ 3️⃣ Not All Carbs & Fats Are Bad 🧠 Don’t fear carbs or fat—choose better sources: 🥑 Healthy fats = avocados, olive oil, nuts 🍠 Smart carbs = fruit, sweet potatoes, oats 🚫 Ditch the processed junk. Quality > quantity when it comes to fuel. ⸻ Consistency wins. Don’t starve yourself. Don’t quit when progress feels slow. 💬 Drop a 💯 if you needed this reminder today. ⸻ Want a simple meal guide based on this? Comment “MEAL” and I’ll share one. 👇
