TOP 5 THINGS IVE LEARNED ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT 

1. TO ONLY WAY LOSE WEIGHT YOU HAVE TO EAT IN A CALORIC DEFECIT 

THIS IS THE SIMPLEST RULE THERE COULD EVER BE. IF YOUR BODY BURNS 2000 CALORIES A DAY AND YOU EAT 1800 CALORIES A DAY, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.

THE REMAINING 4 ITEMS IVE LEARNED ARE ADDITIONAL TOOLS THAT REALLY HELP YOUR BODY WHILE YOU BODY IS IN A CALORIC DEFECIT. 

2. CARDIO & WEIGHT LIFTING BOTH HAVE THEIR PLACE 

SHOULD BE USED TO HELP KEEP AS MUCH MUSCLE MASS WHEN TRYING TO LOSE FAST MASS

3. GET ENOUGH SLEEP. IDEALY THAT MEANS 8-9 HOURS BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN DO THAT, SO IT MEANS AVOIDING 5-6 HOUR NIGHTS AMAP. 

THAT WAY YOUR BODY GETS THE REST IT NEEDS AND COULD BE THE DECIDING FACTOR WHEN TRYING TO GET RID OF STUBBORN FAT. 

4. DRINK WATER. (THE GOAL SHOULD BE MINIMUM OF 8 CUPS A DAY, 1 GALLON) 

THINK OF IT AS FUEL FOR YOUR BODY AND ALLOWING YOUR BODY TO GET ALL IT NEEDS WHILE BURNING FAT.

5. DISCIPLINE VS MOTIVATION

MOTIVATION IS IMPORTANT TO MAKING BIG DECISIONS/CHANGES IN OUR LIFES BUT 

WHEN THAT RUNS OUT YOU NEED TO HAVE THE SELF-DISCIPLINE TO KEEP YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE TOWARDS YOUR GOALS. 

HAVING THE DISCIPLINE TO HAVE A LONG TERM GOAL AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT, LIKE EATING AT A CALRORIC DEFECIT FOR MONTHS IS THE DECIDING FACTOR BETWEEN SUCCESS AND JUST ANOTHER "NEW YEAR RESOLUTION" THAT IS GIVEN UP BY THE END OF JANUARY.
