Calorie control is a key fundamental to fat loss, you’re never going to get away from that.
However, there are ways in which you can do things which make fat loss easier, more comfortable and efficient during the entire process. We see a lot of people making their fat loss journey harder than it needs to be and ultimately failing as a result.
One KEY focus we look at is satiety which is best achieved through low calorie foods which are HIGH in nutrients i.e. micro-nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements. What this means is you are fueling the body properly, and are able to eat larger amounts of physical food as the calorific count is lower.
For instance, 1kg of chicken breast would give you approximately 220g of protein which equates to approximately 880 calories. That’s a LOT of food to eat, for just 880 calories. So mentally you feel like you are eating a lot and physiologically, your gut feels full even though the actual calorie content is relatively low.
We’re not saying your diet needs to be very low in calories at all, we always recommend eating as much as you can WHILST losing body fat.
However, it always makes sense to eat nutritionally dense foods which have a low calorie count especially when dieting because you are able to eat more and therefore satisfy your cravings.
Physiologically speaking, having foods like this will help mediate your blood sugar levels better and support insulin sensitivity which are both KEY points for optimizing fat loss.
Give this some thought and look at what your diet is really like and whether or not you could make life easier for yourself!
On a final note, please remember this is just an example. I don’t recommend only eating 1kg of chicken breast every day, in fact I advise against it.
