Fat loss can be confusing!
There are many influencers online giving advice on how to lose body fat and weight. A good percentage of them are giving out false information for people to follow in their day to day life.

Now remember, fat loss is not easy! There are various things that need to be considered and carried out to achieve fat loss but here are 3 simple tips to get you heading in the right direction.
​
Find out your TDEE
TDEE stands for your Total Daily Energy Expenditure. This is simply how many calories your body needs to consume to maintain weight. There are numerous ways to find out your TDEE, a simple way could be to find an online TDEE calculator.
​
2. Put yourself in a calorie deficit
A calorie deficit is where you consume fewer calories than your body expends. This can be by increasing your physical activity level, eating fewer calories or even better a bit of both! Don't drop your calories too much as this will hinder progress and cause you to feel too hungry. Set yourself a realistic deficit that you can stick to! Around 200-500 Kcal deficit per day could be a good place to start. See what feels sustainable for you!
​
3. Track your calories
To know if you are hitting your daily calorie goal it is best to keep some form of calorie counting. This can be done through a simple food diary or tracked on an app like MyFitnessPal. You can still eat foods you enjoy, just make sure you don't go over your daily limit. Remember if you do we are only human! Don't give up and get back on track the next day. One day will not lose all of your hard work.
