Are you overwhelmed with all of the information available on weight loss and fat burning? You’re not alone! It is difficult to filter through the information online to identify fact from fiction.

Many diets promote cutting out entire food groups, particularly carbohydrates, dairy and fat. While these methods can result in a quick fix and immediate weight loss, diets like this are not sustainable and weight is often regained quickly and muscle mass lost.

The popular saying ‘muscle weighs more than fat’ is not entirely true. A kilogram of muscle and a kilogram of fat technically weigh the same, but they are different in size. Muscle is quite a bit harder and denser than body fat. To achieve a lean physique, you must focus on losing body fat and not muscle. So, when people say they would like to lose weight, they normally mean they would like to lose body fat.

There are many ways to achieve your body composition and weight loss goals. First of all, you need to get the foundations of your diet right. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Avoid fad diets or diets that eliminate whole-food groups
• Bulk up your meals with a variety of vegetables or salad
• Include protein at meal and snack times to suppress appetite and reduce muscle loss
• Limit high-energy foods like sugary drinks, chocolate, takeaways, potato chips and alcohol
• Use healthy foods to fuel and recover appropriately around training
• Be aware of non-hungry eating, like boredom eating or grazing from the fridge
• Being in a calorie deficit will be the key point to achieving fat loss
• Macronutrients break down for protein, fats and carbohydrates

Weight loss is about 80% nutrition and 20% exercise.

Once you have the foundations sorted, you can then start to look at how supplements can assist you to achieve the results you want.
