1️⃣ 99% of your weight loss success is nutrition. You can work as hard as you like at the gym. But if you don’t know how many calories you eat per day, you won’t achieve results. Don’t think that controlling your diet is hard. It’s just a matter of habit.
2️⃣ A very important rule is moderation. It’s not about moderation in food, it’s about moderation in training and calorie deficit. Don’t cut your caloric intake too much: on a hard deficit you’ll go off the track very quickly.
3️⃣ Relax. Calorie control is important, but it’s even more important to feel comfortable while losing weight. Incorporate your favourite foods into your diet. Let it be in your diet. Yes, less than usual. But little things like that can go a long way towards giving you comfort.
4️⃣ Remember why you want it. Think about how you will feel, what you will wear and how you will move when you reach your dream body. Find all the reasons why you are on this path.
How often should I eat and is six meals a day necessary?
There is an opinion that you should eat often and in small portions. This myth has been debunked more than once. But the power of habit is so strong that we still believe the stories about metabolic acceleration on six meals a day.
Let me repeat: it doesn’t matter if you sit down at the table 3 times a day or 6. You can even eat twice a day if you feel like it, or you can split your meals and eat around the clock. The body is very flexible and will easily cope with these regimes.
What matters for weight loss is not how many times you eat in a day, but how much you eat in a day. Don’t get bogged down by extremes – they won’t produce any measurable results.

📍Myth: Exercising your abs will help shrink your tummy
This is a misconception! How many people who selflessly work out at home and at the gym for the sake of belly reduction have given up on the sport without seeing the desired results.
A large belly is an excess of fatty tissue. You won’t be able to work on it by doing abdominal exercises. The maximum that will come out of this endeavor is that a person will have strong and beautiful abdominal muscles, which are under a layer of fat.
❗️If you are overweight, in addition to exercising, a calorie-deficient diet is needed to reduce your abdomen and make your whole body slimmer and tauter.
Conclusion: Eat when you feel comfortable. Eat 2 or 6 times a day. It is not the number of meals, but the daily calorie intake that matters for weight loss
