Here’s how fat loss really works:
Nutrition will be the main driver. You WILL NOT lose weight unless you are in a calorie deficit. Yes, a deficit can be created through increasing activity BUT this also comes with a cost. The more (intense) activity you do, likely the hungrier you’re going to be. In maintenance, we solve this by increasing our intake to account for that. In a deficit, we can’t do this. So you potentially put yourself in a position where you’ll be battling more hunger and more cravings which if we’re not careful, can pull us right out of our deficit. Plus, we can’t measure calorie expenditure like we can our intake. So tracking your food is always going to be #1.
Your daily movement (steps), strength training, and managing sleep and stress and the next most important factors.
Im not saying you can’t run and have success with your fat loss goals, but I am saying that if you’re running ONLY because you want to lose weight or body fat,
1. It’s probably going to feel miserable
2. There’s more efficient ways to do this
