Losing weight may not lead to a drastic reduction in body fat, as losing weight without exercise will also result in a reduction in lean mass. If you really want to reduce your body fat percentage, you should eat better, do cardiovascular exercise1 and remember to do resistance training to build your lean mass, otherwise, you will lose every pound you want. About 25% of every pound you lose will come from lean, calorie-burning muscle. Considering that you do resistance training and that most of your weight comes from fat, this can help you estimate how much weight you’ll need to lose to achieve your ideal body fat percentage.

Since nutrition is the most important aspect of being lean, you need to hit the macronutrient numbers we have listed. You can adjust the food slightly to suit your palate, but try to repeat the numbers as much as possible.
You can use the following simple formula of LOW CARB HIGH CARB CYCLE, which are we going to give it to here. Your daily calorie intake means that you consume the total number of calories in your meal each day. In general, a caloric deficit is required to reduce weight (the more calories you burn). And theoretically, the higher the calorie deficit, the faster you will lose. Cutting out body fat means training your body to use fuel as fat stores, something that will not happen when you are burning through pre-workout pasta.
