The truth about foods you should avoid to lose fat:
There's tons of content out there about food selection for fat loss.
Many people claim you need to avoid specific foods.

They claim certain foods promote fat storage and prevent fat loss.
But is that true?
Here are 3 facts about food choice and fat loss:

Why?

But is that true?
Here are 3 facts about food choice and fat loss:
1) “Fat-storing foods” are a myth
There’s no single food that causes fat storage by itself.
Nor are there sets of foods you have to avoid at all costs.
This is an overly simplistic (and incorrect) way to view nutrition.
Let me explain...
There’s no single food that causes fat storage by itself.
Nor are there sets of foods you have to avoid at all costs.
This is an overly simplistic (and incorrect) way to view nutrition.
Let me explain...
When you classify a food as:
• “Good”
• “Bad”
• "Healthy”
• “Fat storing”
You’re looking at the food in isolation.
But that’s not how your body works.
Your body doesn’t see or process each meal or snack by itself.
Quite the opposite...
• “Good”
• “Bad”
• "Healthy”
• “Fat storing”
You’re looking at the food in isolation.
But that’s not how your body works.
Your body doesn’t see or process each meal or snack by itself.
Quite the opposite...
Your body sees your diet as a whole.
It processes all you eat throughout a day, week, or month.
All the food you eat provides your body with:
• Calories
• Macronutrients
• Micronutrients
• Fiber
So how should you approach eating for fat loss?

So how should you approach eating for fat loss?
You need to be in a consistent overall calorie deficit to lose fat.
If you’re consistently burning more calories than you consume?
You will lose fat.
Simple as that.
No food will be “fat-storing” by itself if it fits in your calorie target for the day.

2) Demonizing foods is unhealthy
You often hear people say they can’t eat something.
Or they'll say you shouldn’t eat it either.
Why?
Because it’s “bad for you”, “unhealthy”, or “too sugary”.
That might have a grain of truth...
But it’s a horrible approach.

But it’s a horrible approach.
Here's why:
It again makes the mistake of considering the food in isolation.
But, even worse, it creates an unhealthy relationship with food.
It makes you stressed about what you should and shouldn’t eat.
You’ll enjoy your diet less and have a harder time sticking to it.
The result?
But, even worse, it creates an unhealthy relationship with food.
It makes you stressed about what you should and shouldn’t eat.
You’ll enjoy your diet less and have a harder time sticking to it.
The result?
You’ll feel your diet is too restrictive.
And you’ll eventually burn out on it.
What happens then?
You’ll wind up binging on those foods you tried to avoid.
Let yourself to eat foods you enjoy - in moderation and within your calorie goal.

3) Calories are not all created equal
In theory, you could lose weight and fat eating anything, as long as you keep a consistent calorie deficit.
But 2000 calories of ice cream and chips will not produce the same result as 2000 calories of steak and veggies.
Why is that?

Why is that?
Following a cleaner diet with a balanced macronutrient profile provides many benefits:
• More fiber content
• Better micronutrient profile
• More protein for muscle building & recovery
• Greater thermic effect (calories burned to digest the food)
But the most important::
• More fiber content
• Better micronutrient profile
• More protein for muscle building & recovery
• Greater thermic effect (calories burned to digest the food)
But the most important::
A cleaner diet, based on whole foods, will be more satiating.
“Junk” food is calorie dense - lots of calories in a low volume.
They're easy to eat too much of because they don't fill you up.
The opposite happens with whole foods:
“Junk” food is calorie dense - lots of calories in a low volume.
They're easy to eat too much of because they don't fill you up.
The opposite happens with whole foods:
Whole unprocessed foods are less calorie dense.
This means you can eat more volume to get the same amount of calories.
The result? You’ll feel fuller and more satiated.
This makes it easier to control your appetite and reach your calorie targets without going hungry.
