The Mistake of Immediate Caloric Deficit

Attempting to quickly reduce body fat from 30% to 10% by jumping straight into a caloric deficit can lead to failure. This approach often results in hitting a plateau, where the body adapts by ramping up hunger signals and slowing metabolism. Instead of immediately cutting calories and increasing exercise, establishing a strong foundation in both mindset and physiology is crucial. A gradual approach combined with strength training prepares the body for sustainable fat loss by enhancing metabolic efficiency.
