Perception: “Mas konti ang kain, mas mabilis ang weight loss.”
Reality: Not necessarily.
Isa ito sa pinaka-common misconceptions when it comes to losing weight.
Totoo po na kailangan ng calorie deficit para mag-lose ng body fat, pero hindi ibig sabihin na kailangan mong gutumin ang sarili mo or drastically cut your food intake.
Your body still needs energy just to function.
Una, BMR is the energy your body uses at rest for basic functions like breathing, circulation, and organ function.
Pangalawa, TDEE is your estimated total energy expenditure for the entire day, including movement, exercise, and daily activities.
For most people, the goal is not simply to eat as little as possible. The goal is to create an appropriate and sustainable calorie deficit relative to your TDEE while still getting enough protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Kapag sobrang aggressive ng restriction, you may experience low energy, poor training performance, stronger hunger and cravings, and greater risk of losing lean muscle. Your energy expenditure can also adapt downward over time.
And yes, you can still eat rice.
You can still eat carbs.🍚
Weight loss does not automatically require a zero to low-carb diet.
The better approach?
🥗 Balanced nutrition
🍚 Controlled portions
🥩 Adequate protein
🏋🏻 Preserve your muscle
📉 Reasonable calorie deficit
📆 Consistency over extremes
Hindi paramihan ng bawal ang healthy weight loss.
It’s about eating enough, eating appropriately, and staying consistent long enough to see results.
