The summer is right around the corner and many start looking for the fastest way to lose weight, so they can rock a summer body.

CALORIE DEFICIT.

CALORIE DEFICIT.

CALORIE DEFICIT.

CALORIES DEFICT.

That’s right.

There’s a ton of diets out there, such as:

Here's a list of the Best Overall Diets. (https://health.usnews.com/best-diet/best-diets-overall)

I just named a few of hundreds of diets out there. So many diets no wonder many are confused. Which one is the easiest to follow? Which one is financially affordable? Which one is the most effective? Ultimately, which one will help me lose weight? I am not a Registered Nutritionist, so I cannot offer you specific advice on what you should be consuming. I will, however tell you that you can have the best diet and eat healthy all the time but if you are not at a calories deficit then you simply WILL NOT lose weight.

Plain and simple.

I’ve lost weight and I’ve kept it off. I’ve written lots of articles about losing weight and keeping it off. Everything that I write are the basic facts of what I’ve learned over the years on how to lose weight and keep it off, but it all comes down to one principle.

How did I lose weight: Caloric deficit.

How do I keep it off: Caloric balance.

Calories are all that matter to weight loss, but that doesn’t mean eat whatever you want, because quality affects quantity.

Bottom line is, ANY diet will lead to weight loss if you’re in a caloric deficit.

Calories deficit is when you consume fewer calories than your body burns (or burn more calories than you consume, it’s the same thing). Doing so puts your body in a state of negative energy balance, where it doesn’t have the calories it needs to perform all of the daily tasks it needs to perform (moving, breathing, digesting, exercising, walking etc.). So, in order to perform those tasks, your body is forced to burn your own stored body fat for energy instead. As a result, you lose weight (or more specifically, you lose fat).

This is why a calorie deficit is the absolute key to weight loss.

In this article, you’ll learn how to set a calories deficit.

1. Set up a specific number to achieve a certain rate of fat loss.

This is where most people decide how much they want to lose per week, usually about one pound. They know that one pound of fat has about 3,500 calories, so they figure out how many fewer calories they’ll need to eat per day to lose one pound of fat — 500.(1)

2. Set your calorie intake according to your body weight.

This approach is a little more customized to your individual needs because it accounts for differences in body size. However, this only takes into account your body-weight, which is not always an accurate predictor of your total energy needs.

People who exercise more are going to have higher energy needs and sedentary people will need lower than average calorie needs.

3. Set calories as a percentage of your maintenance intake.

You estimate your maintenance calorie intake, and then subtract a percentage from your maintenance. If you need 2,000 calories per day to maintain your body weight, and you slash your calorie intake by 20%, then you’d eat 400 calories less per day, or 1600 calories.

Here’s how we’re going to define the size of caloric deficits:

1. Small: 15% below maintenance calories.

2. Medium: 15-25% below maintenance calories.

3. Large: 25% below maintenance calories.

This is generally the best way to set your calorie deficit.

I know it sounds all confusing, but it really isn’t. Creating a calorie deficit to lose weight just means eating less than your maintenance calories. You can go Bodybuilding.com to find our more about calorie deficit and how to count your macros.

You can use the calorie counter here to find out how many calories you need for weight loss.

Also make sure to track what you eat, there are tons of fitness apps where you can log your food intake and will let you know how many calories you are consuming, my favorite application is MyFitnessPal.

Deciding what calorie deficit, you use to lose fat is not always easy. There are a lot of factors to consider, all of which depend on your goals, tolerances, and preferences. A deficit that’s perfect for one person might be totally inappropriate for another. With a little planning and experimentation, however, you’ll find a deficit that works for you.

On this article you learned the One Absolute Requirement to lose weight.

Simply put… a caloric deficit. That is the scientifically proven “secret” to losing fat and weight. It literally can’t happen any other way.
