THE 5 UNBREAKABLE RULES OF WEIGHT LOSS



You are trying to lose weight and you just cant. That is the story all of us experience so what is going on? Well, chances are you are breaking at least one of five UNBREAKABLE rules of weight loss.

If you are finally ready to break the cycle, the let is discuss exactly what these rules are. According to the Internet, weight loss is very very complicated. However, although the actions required for losing weight can indeed be difficult, weight is a conceptually straightforward process.

Infact in the most technical sense, there is only one truly UNBREAKABLE rule of weight loss. And that is energy balance now, let is just think about it for a moment. When we think about weight loss, what exactly are we trying to lose in our bodies? Depending on what is hot in entertainment right now, it might be our blood, brains or hearts, but usually we want to lose body fat.

And body fat, of course, is our number one source of stored energy. This is where the all-so- frightening term known as calories comes into play. In order to lose weight that is primarily body fat, we have take in less energy than we use, thus creating an energy deficit compensated by mobilizing or using our fat stores. 

And since calories is unit or measurement of energy, we often hear the phrase, "calories in versus calories out" which is the same as saying energy balance. Approximately one pound of body fat contains 3500 calories of energy. So, to lose something like, 5 pounds in 2 months, you have to achieve a net energy deficit of 17,500 calories, which is a daily deficit of Approximately 300 calories.

Now, counting calories is far from perfect, and many corners calories is far from perfect and many corners of the Internet have contended the importance of calories and energy balance in general. However, in the scientific literature, by far the most consistent factor for weight management, be it weight loss, gain, or maintenance, is indeed energy balance. 

But it is true that calories are not completely accurate, primarily because our current methods to measure it are largely inconsistent. However, we can somewhat correct this by observing bodyweight changes over time and then adjusting our estimates accordingly.

Unless some compelling data suddenly emerges contesting it, the one true unbreakable rule of weight loss is achieving an energy deficit. But, of course now you are probably wondering why does this video say five rules?. 

Well, i am certainly not the first nor last person to speak the gospel of energy deficit. But, Of Course, Knowing Is Not The Same As Doing. And that is where the remaining four unbreakable rules arise because they are the the most relevant factors in successfully achieving this energy deficit.

So get ready cause i am gonna solve all of your weight loss troubles by telling you all the rules right now. Again the first and overarching, unbreakable rule is to maintain an energy deficit. The other four UNBREAKABLE rules are to manage food intake, increase physical activity, get sufficient recovery, and maintain consistency.

Apologies if you expected some sort of stunning revelation, but unfortunately, these are indeed the boring but tried-and-true rules of weight loss and essentially all fitness goals. Weight loss undoubtedly and fundamentally requires a great deal of effort. Ofcourse, i want to help you with these rules, so let me share my one absolute favourite tip for each of these rules that can make it easier for you to follow them.
