If there’s one thing everybody knows about weight loss, it’s that it’s complicated. It’s a sea of half-truths and sort-of lies. People don’t know exactly what’s going on because bullshit is always around them.

Now, when you’ve been kicking around this fitness for as long as I have, you develop a fantastical ability to see past the bullshit and false promises.

Thus, this article will go over four groups of fat loss fundamentals to help you plow through the BS:

  • Non-negotiable;
  • Highly advisable;
  • Shit that most people don’t need to worry about;
  • Shit that can just piss off.

So here are the things that you should focus on:

The ONLY Non-negotiable

  • A Calorie Deficit

Despite what you hear in the media, or what your keto-fanatic friend Becky may tell you, it’s physiologically impossible to lose fat without a calorie deficit.

The only way to lose fat is to burn more calories than you consume.
