Calorie deficit

This is the simplest and most obvious of all dieting principles, yet, sometimes, it’s the most difficult one to follow. Calories and energy work in harmony. The more calories you consume, the more energy you need to expend to prevent those calories being stored as fat in the body. If you remain in a calorific deficit and expend the appropriate amount of energy, you should lose weight.

This seems simple and, in theory, it is. However, it works best when you also consume as little processed foods as possible. This is because pre-packaged foods come with many hidden additives – sugars, trans fats, MSG – all of which, over time, will inhibit fat loss. So, you might think you are in a calorific deficit, when in fact you are in a surplus.

Put simply, the less factory interference, the better the food. Building muscle requires quality protein, but it also requires other nutrients, too. Many people focus heavily on the macro-nutrients and forget micro-nutrients, such as zinc, which is good for testosterone support and boosts the immune system. Magnesium, as well, which is one of the most abundant minerals in the body, is great for improving sleep.

We need to understand that diet is more than just calories. All foods contain messages that are interpreted in different ways by the body.
