I’ve seen it too many times: someone loses 10 pounds fast on a crash diet, only to gain it all back—and more. Extreme calorie cuts might give you short-term weight loss, but they mess with your metabolism, energy, and mindset.
Sustainable fat loss comes from consistency, not deprivation. I guide my clients to eat enough to fuel their workouts and lifestyle while maintaining a slight calorie deficit. No cutting out entire food groups or starving yourself.
The goal isn’t just to lose fat—it’s to keep it off while feeling strong and balanced. Eat real food, move daily, and give yourself time. That’s the real secret.
