Deep dives
Eating more can make you leaner and eating less can make you fatter
One of the biggest misconceptions in health and fitness is that eating less leads to weight loss and eating more leads to weight gain. However, in reality, eating less can sometimes cause you to gain fat and eating more can help you lose weight. This is because weight loss and weight gain are not solely determined by calorie intake, but are also influenced by factors like muscle mass and body fat percentage. Lowering calorie intake drastically while doing excessive cardio can lead to muscle loss, which ultimately makes you fatter even if you are losing weight on the scale. To avoid this, it is important to focus on strength training and consuming a high-protein diet to build and maintain muscle while losing body fat.
