Fat Loss Strategy One: Prioritize Protein
In another post, she delves into "five strategies" that are "fundamental to jumpstarting and sustaining your fat loss journey," she writes. The first is making protein a priority. "Ensuring a high protein intake, around 175 grams daily, helps maintain muscle mass while in a calorie deficit. Protein supports muscle recovery, keeps you full, and aids fat loss without compromising strength," she says in her post.
Fat Loss Strategy Two: Lift Weights
Strength training is the best workout for fat loss. "Lifting weights or doing resistance training at least four times a week is essential. Strength training preserves muscle, boosts metabolism, and helps shape your physique, all of which are critical to an effective fat loss program," she writes.
Fat Loss Strategy Three: Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is also important. "Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night. Quality sleep is key to hormone balance, particularly cortisol and insulin, both of which play a significant role in fat loss and energy management," she writes.
Fat Loss Strategy Four: Be Consistent
Next, focus on consistency. "Consistency in both diet and exercise routines is far more powerful than perfection. Building sustainable habits is what leads to lasting results, so keep moving forward even if things aren't always flawless," she writes.
Fat Loss Strategy Five: Stay Active
Make sure to maintain an active lifestyle. "Stay active throughout the day beyond formal workouts. Activities like walking, stretching, or standing regularly help keep your metabolism engaged and contribute to overall fat loss," she says.
