Are you currently in a calorie deficit trying to lose weight/fat?
 
It is important to note when in a calorie deficit and the goal is weight loss that the weight can be lost via fat loss and muscle loss.

However, losing muscle is something we DON’T WANT to happen.

We want to lose fat whilst maintaining muscle so that as individuals we still feel strong and fit and aesthetically look good.  
Here are 4 key strategies to help you achieve that.

1- Diet slowly (lose fat whilst maintaining muscle)
2- Increase protein intake (1.8-2.7g of protein per kg of BW)
3- Maintain strength for as long as possible
4- Avoid excessive cardio

Protein is discussed in the fitness industry a hell of a lot and that’s because of its importance for individuals on their fitness journeys.

Protein is a macronutrient and provides 4 calories per gram.

Protein is made up of amino acids which work as building blocks for the body.

Proteins are found in every cell of the body and are needed for many important functions that allow our body to work properly. Regarding fitness and working out, the number one role protein plays is building and repairing muscle 💪🏻

Protein can be consumed via many food sources such as meat and fish but if you are looking for a plant based approach then nuts, seeds and beans are the best options for you. 🍖 🥜

Whilst protein powders can be a great supplement in the diet to help you towards your protein goals.

DRINK WATER!!!!!

The god of all fluids.

And with us being in the height of summer right now and a heatwave across the country, we need to make sure more than ever we are drinking enough water and not just the cocktails and pints 🍻

Enjoy the sun and have a great weekend guys!

Struggling to lose weight/fat?

This post covers macronutrients (macros) and how you can create a macro split suitable for you and your goals.

For many just being in a calorie deficit might not be helping them progress at a rate they want, and day to day they could be feeling sluggish and lacking energy. This can be down to the foods you’re eating to be in a calorie deficit.

So creating a macro split suitable to you, can help set you a target of how many macronutrients you need to consume, which will direct you to the foods you should be eating, to help you have more energy and boost your mood!

CREATINE!!!

An important read about creatine that can help direct and inform any of you guys who are thinking about taking it as a supplement.

This whistle stop tour aims to explain how it works, is it safe to use, the benefits you can get and also the best form of creatine out there.

This last point is important as there are many different forms of creatine supplements, so it’s crucial to select the one which is scientifically proven to be safe and beneficial.

Happy Wednesday and keep enjoying the sun ☀️
