Always looking to cut calories?

Well guess what?

It has been suggested that a calorie deficit is necessary for WEIGHT loss, but NOT always necessary for Fat loss!

In other words..

It is possible to lose some body fat without a calorie deficit!

A calorie deficit will always cause some form of weight loss, however, whether the loss comes from water, muscle or fat, will depend largely on other factors such as exercise, nutritional state, recovery, etc. This is something we cannot control. Most often any initial weight loss is made up of fluid lost from the body’s use of protein and carb stores. This water is simply replaced once the body adapts to the new energy intake. This means that when you try to lose weight through strict calorie reduction it’s very possible that you WON’T burn off sufficient body fat in order to see good results on the scales. This can be one of the reasons why so many people stop seeing any progress after a few weeks of strict dieting.

Fat can be lost without a calorie deficit with the correct timing. A time when your physiological turnover, created from certain hormones, is at its optimum for huge energy demands - a potential fat burning situation. For example, if your body is in the process of synthesizing proteins then it will need extra energy to achieve this calorie-demanding chemical process. If you’re not consuming any additional food to account for these demands, then the body must find the additional energy from other, natural sources – fat stores. In other words, there is a calorie shift of where the body sources extra energy needs.

By selecting the appropriate foods for your type and eating at the right time, it’s possible to initiate fat burning without reducing calories in your diet. The trick is to find out the best time for your type, this will take practise and a specialized program designed to suit individual needs.

Weight loss for idiots knows that a calorie deficit is not necessary and thus claim to have formulated a way to boost weight loss through the manipulation and timing of regularly changing meals patterns. Selecting the correct foods at the correct time may help increase the chances that the internal state of the body is set up for fat loss. Check it out here!

There is another way
Another way of losing excess body fat without the low calorie hell is to change your body composition. This is the amount of lean weight compared to fat weight. We often see this happening during the first few weeks of starting a new exercise program; we get leaner and gain a little body shape, and often without the need for low calories. The only downside to this is the need to exercise, and it’s also important to train harder each session in order to force physiological changes to occur.
