A new day, a new tip and a healthy menu. It is the dynamic of our September challenge, in which we have proposed to learn to eat well to achieve our goals, either lose weight, gain health, or both. And for this we have the advice of the experts of IND, specialists in personalized nutritional plans for sports performance. This time we are going to talk about something essential, caloric deficit, essential to lose fat.
“Facing a Loss of fat, the solution is not in the type of path, strategy or diet that you choose “, they explain to us.” For example: Does intermittent fasting make you lose weight? Well yes, but only if you can maintain a caloric deficit (spend more calories than you eat). If this doesn’t happen, you won’t lose weight. “
How do you create a caloric deficit?
“The strategies or plans that can be followed to achieve it can be multiple and have to do, on the one hand with what you eat, and on the other with what you spend through your metabolism, activity and training. “As they say: the chickens that come in through the ones that come out.
“The important thing will be to find the strategy or diet suitable for you, depending on your tastes, habits, schedules, time and level for cooking, objectives, training, activity, rest … etc “.
So … do I intermittent fasting or not?
“Well, neither 100% yes, nor 100% no”, the experts answer us. “He intermittent fasting is a strategy that makes it easier to comply with the caloric deficit by reducing the window in which food is ingested. However, scientific evidence has not shown that more fat is lost with fasting than with a normal deficit, so you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. Whether or not it is interesting to you will depend on your context. “
Should I skip dinner? This way it will be easier to cGet a calorie deficit, right?
“It doesn’t have to. If you want to lose fat we must look at the calories ingested throughout the day, not just at night. In fact, if we train late in the day to High intensity, our dinner may have to be very large to recover everything invested. Or if we go to train or compete first thing in the morning, the same would happen. It depends on the distribution of macronutrients at dinner, it depends a lot on the type and the duration of training that we finish doing or are going to do the next day. “
