Wellness Corner -- Fundamentals of Fat Loss

Ben Fogel -- Epic Fitness

“I have tried every diet, and nothing seems to help me lose this stubborn fat.”

“What is the best way for me to lose fat, and keep muscle?”

“Where do I start when it comes to fat loss?”

These are a lot of the questions that our team gets asked at Epic Fitness often.  There seems to be this unknown surrounding losing fat (and keeping it off healthfully) that every “diet” out there doesn’t do a great job answering.  

The question we should be asking is, “What are the top 1-3 things I need to focus on to lose body fat and to keep it off for the long term?”
Well, you are in luck!  That is exactly what this 5 part series will be all about.  We will start by laying out the 3 principles of fat loss that will always stand the test of time.  
In order to lose body fat and keep it off, you need to:

• Burn more calories than you take in (Calorie deficit)
• Include strength training 3x/week
• Eat plenty of protein

For those of you staring at the above principles and are thinking, “What else?”  That’s it!  Doing these 3 things on a consistent basis will help you lose body fat, gain and maintain lean muscle which actually in-turn helps tremendously with increasing your basal metabolic rate and keeps you in a healthy calorie deficit (we will get more into this soon).  Now is the time to stop the “yo-yo” process of starting and stopping every fad diet out there.
