Tips on Maximising the Effects of your Calorie Deficit
-Eat as much stuff as you can without wasting your calories.-
This may seem like a given but there are so many people that just eat whatever they want and expect not to be hungry. Vegetables are good. Fruits are good. Certain meats are good. Those low calorie cookies are less good because of the refined sugar. That desert from Red Lobster can wait for your next bulk. If you are already full you won’t look for more food.
-Check the rest of the label. Just because it’s low calorie doesn’t mean it’s good for you.-
I cannot stress enough how important this is. Farm fresh is best, Factory made gets you played. They put some nasty ass stuff in these “healthy” food options. An ingredient you consume during the cut is not worth the bad skin it will give you (I don’t know anything about peptides but the peptidemaxxers probably have something to say about that too). A good rule of thumb is to try to stay away from anything that has an ingredient list resembling an essay you would have written in highschool, and to look up any ingredients you can’t pronounce.
-Remember to Utilize Resistance Training-
I feel as though this is self explanatory but it does not matter how careful you are or how much you think your protein intake will save you, if you dont work out, your muscles will disappear with the fat.
-The Worst Case Senario Method-
I don’t recommend using this method without knowing the risks, especially since this is a method I (a non medical professional) have crafted myself. The idea here is that every time you eat something you imagine the “worst case scenario”. If you eat a cinnamon roll (even if its small) and you dont know how many calories it had, look it up and go with the highest reasonable number. If you eat 5 crackers and each cracker is a decimal, round up. Just little things. By the end of the day you will be somewhere below your calorie limit, but not super low. This is where the fun part comes in. It’s the end of the day, you’re tired, and you really want an extra snack to fill you up, but you only have 30 calories left to use. Because you used the “worst case senario” method, you now can have about 15-20 grace calories left and you can eat some popcorn!
-Spread Meals & Snacks Throughout-
Another self explanatory one, don’t use all your calories in one place. Spread them out or you will stay hungry. This can be done with a planner, or at your own lesuire.
-Meal Prep-
Many of you may do this already but it’s a good method to ensure you get everything you need in a day, with correct spacing and compatibility with your workout.
-Drinks-
I have a lot to say on this topic so it’s just going to be nearly compiled under this one category
>Remember to document drinks as they DO count towards your calories
>Do not “drink too many calories”. This will cause bloating.
>Drink extra water
>If you are hungry but you have nothing scheduled soon, drink some water and wait 5 minutes to see if you still feel that way
-Cheat Days-
Allow yourself to have a somewhat normal day of eating every once in a while. Everyone has different dietary needs and you should place it accordingly. Your body needs that normalcy on the occasion to ensure it doesn’t go into safety mode and sabotage your weight loss, especially if you have the tendency to binge!! Be careful not to over indulge! Your willpower is stronger than you think.
