To lose fat, it is important that we follow a calorie-deficit diet. But often, people mistake it for eating less. In fact, it means consuming high volumes of low-calorie diet and high protein to stay satiated and energised throughout the day.
To do effective weight loss, we must target fat loss. Strength training can help us hold onto the muscles and lose fat faster.

Isabelle Morris has 8000-10000 steps as her daily goal. She also added 20-30 minutes of jogging or biking sessions per week in her routine. While cardio is not essentially a part of the weight loss process, it can help in shedding the extra fat.
“I have dessert every night and go out every weekend- this stays the same whether I’m in a cut or bulk or neither! But I make sure to incorporate sweet treats and weekends in my tracking (yes, I track weekends and it’s really been a game changer)! I adjust around them as needed and make swaps where I can (I.e. tequila soda vs a sugary drink),” wrote Isabelle.

It is crucial to be patient throughout and be consistent in the process. “Some weeks or even a full month, I’ll see no changes on the scale or see lots of fluctuations. It’s critical to stick with it to make results long term,” she added.
