Losing fat happens when your body burns more calories than you eat.
The goal is to create a small, sustainable calorie deficit while keeping your muscle.
Use a small 200–500 calorie deficit daily.
Avoid extreme deficits to prevent muscle loss, cravings, and low energy.
Aim for 0.7–1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.
Protein keeps you full and helps maintain muscle while cutting.
Lift weights 3–4 times per week to protect muscle.
Add light cardio like walking or incline treadmill for health and fat loss.
