Fitness Tips

Carbs Or Fats: What’s the best Macronutrient Distribution for a fat loss phase?

As long as you are in a calorie deficit and eating sufficient protein, either can work!  

(About 1g per pound of your ideal bodyweight is a good place to aim for.) 

You can lose fat on high carb, high fat, or balanced diets.  Macronutrient distribution does not change your ability to lose fat.  

This is great news!  

Choose whatever makes you feel and perform your best.  

Consistency is key to having a Sustainable Fitness Journey.

Your preferences matter. Consistency is only possible when you enjoy the journey.
