Welcome to the fat loss triad.
Welcome to the fat loss triad.
1. Mental Health
2. Hormonal Health
3. Energy In/Energy Out

Problem is… you are not a robot who can forever be altered by a simple math equation.
You are a multidimensional, ever-changing human with a unique life experience and genetic blueprint.
And for this reason, promoting the physiological process of fat loss while preserving mental health is something far more complex and nuanced than following a simple energy in/energy out equation.

I would argue a firm NO.
