Good read about weight (fat) loss and preserving or gaining muscle. Nothing fancy or groundbreaking tho.

1. Calories in vs calories out is the thing that defines whether you lose weight or not. If you eat fewer calories than you consume, you will lose weight. No excuses here - if you don't lose weight, you eat too much, plain and simple.

2. Getting enough protein makes sure that you lose more fat and less muscle. Protein also keeps you satiated which makes weight loss easier. It's even possible to gain muscle and lose fat if you lift while you lose fat if you eat enough protein.

3. Carbs and fats don't matter if we focus on weight loss. Eat them as you wish. It's up to you.


This is pretty much all you need to know about losing weight.

Eat fewer calories than you consume, get enough protein, lift. Drink enough water too. Simple. All it takes is discipline.

Intermittent fasting doesn't have benefits over normal caloric restriction. You can do IF if you want to, but you don't have to.

"However, the body of intermittent caloric restriction research, on the whole, has indicated no significant advantage over daily caloric restriction for improving body composition [108]."
