The Myth About Fat Loss Food

People spend way too much time looking for diet foods, diet recipes, weight loss foods, fat burners, and fat burning pills, detox water, ayurvedic medicines, and the list is endless.

During my morbidly obese days, it was my sole goal to find that formula. That secret formula, that magic potion that I'm supposes to eat for a couple of days and immediately lose weight.

I'm giggling at my old self now thinking about it. I guess the now I knows it makes no sense, but 70kg me a couple of years back, it was as real as a hot brownie with ice cream on top.

I looked back on some of the "diet recipes" that I had saved over the past years. Looking at the calorie count, it wasn't that low at all. I mean yeah, it would be around 400-500kcal which I guess is lower compared to a traditional recipe of 600-700kcal? I was expecting more of a 200-300kcal method, but they seem not to exist except for some snacks? And these diet recipes, they don't seem filling at all. Portions are small, and the word diet appears to coincide with how "clean" it looks. Olive oil, instead of vegetable oil but, oil is oil. It just Similar calories regardless of the fancy names.

I guess I'm just ranting if I keep going on.

The Point is there are no weight loss foods. You could lose weight eating anything you want. Yes, you could eat McDonald's all day for all three meals and lose weight if you're consistently in a caloric deficit. It's been done before, and well documented.

When you eat, what type of food you eat doesn't matter as much as how much (calories) you eat in a pure weight loss perspective. As long as you're in a caloric deficit consistently, you're going to lose weight. Consistently doesn't mean being on track for 3-4 days in a row. Consistently means out of 30 days, you've more or less been on track at least 25+ days what you do most of the time matters. It matters a lot more than what you some of the times do. Losing weight has a very simple formula. The calories you consume in a day should be less than the calories you burn in a day. It does not matter what kind of food you eat, what time you take your meal, how many meals you take in a day, what type of diet you follow. The one simple rule is being consistent in eating less amount of food.
