In this episode of Workouts for Older Men, I break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness — the calorie deficit. Sure, eating fewer calories than you burn will help you lose weight, but not all deficits are created equal. Some leave you drained, frustrated, and bouncing back harder than ever, while others help you build muscle, stay strong, and feel great along the way. I explain how to create a calorie deficit that’s sustainable, effective, and realistic for men who lead busy, productive lives — so you can finally look the way you want without feeling like you’re starving yourself.
