What's Necessary for Body Recomposition
If fat loss is your goal, then it requires a calorie deficit.
Your priority should be adherence to that deficit.
It doesn’t mean that you should be crazy restrictive or super-low calorie that makes it hard to adhere to and feeling miserable.
It means prioritizing adherence to a plan that minimizes feelings of deprivation.
Check the list to see what’s helpful vs. necessary in a calorie deficit.
Things like high volume foods and adequate protein intake keeps us satiated, tracking and logging food builds awareness, and daily movement and strength training are for promoting body composition changes.
But none of those things are required. Helpful, yes. Required, nope.
Find strategies that work for you and be consistent.
