Some embark on a strict diet, others spend hours running on the treadmill, and others begin to exercise. <strong>The question is, what is best for weight loss and fat burning? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people who focus on only one aspect of their lifestyle then often experience the disappointment of little or no results. When they do go on a strict diet and lose weight, they experience the yo-yo effect and repeat the same mistakes. In today&#8217;s article, we will reveal what is actually important in weight loss and what approach will bring the most effective and, most importantly, long-lasting results.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-most-important-when-losing-weight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_most_important_when_losing_weight\"><\/span>What is most important when losing weight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The conditions for losing weight are not the number of kilometres run, hours spent in the gym or eliminating sweets from your diet.<strong> In fact, neither of these will work to burn fat unless you are in a<\/strong> <strong>calorie deficit.<\/strong> What is a calorie deficit anyway? It&#8217;s a state when you have more energy expenditure (basal metabolism, energy used for digestion, exercise, sport) than energy intake (food, drinks). <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your maintenance intake (you are not losing or gaining weight) is on average 3000 kcal and you reduce it to 2500 kcal, you will get into a calorie deficit of 500 kcal and start to lose weight gradually. A <strong>caloric deficit of about 15 &#8211; 20%<\/strong> of your current intake is then considered sustainable in the long term, which in this case you can easily meet. A caloric deficit of about <strong>30%<\/strong> is considered to be a <strong>borderline value.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not a good idea to cut your energy intake in half from 3000 to 1500 kcal with a hope of quick results. It is certainly not a good idea to think about various drastic diets with a maximum intake of 1000 kcal. <strong>Such a large calorie deficit also carries a number of risks.<\/strong> These include, for example, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of muscle mass and lack of important nutrients for proper body function. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re in a profound caloric deficit for a long time, you may encounter some problems that are part of the <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-combat-the-absence-of-menstruation-and-other-symptoms-of-the-female-athlete-triad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">female athlete triad,<\/a> or some heath issues that apply to men. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1\u20133]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you want to learn more about what a calorie deficit is and how to manage it, read our article <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/caloric-deficit-how-to-lose-weight-and-also-have-a-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>Calorie Deficit: How to Lose Weight and Have a Life?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-956438132-1124x750.jpg\" alt=\"What is most important when losing weight?\" class=\"wp-image-338483\" style=\"width:843px;height:563px\" title=\"What is most important when losing weight?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-956438132-1124x750.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-956438132-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-956438132-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-956438132-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-dieting-for-weight-loss\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_are_the_pros_and_cons_of_dieting_for_weight_loss\"><\/span>1. What are the pros and cons of dieting for weight loss?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diet plays an important role in weight loss. Thanks to this, you can influence how many calories you take in per day. It works very simply. <strong>When you reduce your energy intake, you enter a calorie deficit <\/strong>even without exercise. However, if you decide to tackle weight loss with diet alone, be prepared to eat a lot less than if you added some extra sporting activity. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[4]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-weight-loss-diet-plan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_weight_loss_diet_plan\"><\/span>Benefits of weight loss diet plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you eat about 15-20% fewer calories and make sure you get enough of the essential nutrients, you will start to lose weight. It&#8217;s not rocket science.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-the-easiest-way-to-get-into-a-calorie-deficit\">1. The easiest way to get into a calorie deficit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it easier to go for a jog for an hour, or to halve the size of your side dishes and supplement the rest with vegetables? I bet that if you are not a fan of running, you will prefer to choose smaller portions for your side dishes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately that much energy is saved or burned by a 65 kg woman who is in a calorie deficit of 500 kcal. <strong>Reducing your energy intake through food<\/strong> is still the easiest way for most people to lose weight. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[5-6]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-you-won-t-lose-as-much-muscle-due-to-a-higher-protein-intake\">2. You won&#8217;t lose as much muscle due to a higher protein intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protein<\/strong> plays a crucial role in weight loss. Its superpowers include <strong>protecting muscles,<\/strong> increasing the feeling of satiety after eating, and helping to tame uncontrollable food cravings. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to keep an eye on your protein intake during weight loss and focus on having a source of protein in every meal. You can find it in meat, <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/tuna-in-brine-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">fish<\/a>, <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/legumes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">legumes<\/a>, dairy products or plant-based meat alternatives, such as <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/bio-tofu-vanavita.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tofu (opens in a new tab)\">tofu<\/a>, <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/bio-seitan-vanavita.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">seitan<\/a> or<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/bio-tempeh-vanavita.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> tempeh<\/a>.

Many people are not able to follow a modified diet in the long term. This is mainly because of feeling hungry. You may lose weight through dieting, but it won&#8217;t help you to tone your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-it-is-hard-to-stick-to-a-diet-for-a-long-time\">1. It is hard to stick to a diet for a long time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t add exercise to your diet and try to only lose weight by reducing calories, <strong>you probably won&#8217;t last long on such a low intake.<\/strong> Many people often go on strict diets and cut their calorie intake in half or have a few &#8220;fruit detox smoothies&#8221; a day in the hope of losing weight quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But logically, this does not last long and after some time they easily succumb to great hunger and eat everything they can see. <strong>Instead of losing weight gradually, they often fall into a cycle of starvation and overeating.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-greater-risk-of-muscle-and-strength-loss\">2. Greater risk of muscle and strength loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In addition to fat, people often lose muscle<\/strong> when losing weight. However, along with the muscles they lose strength, attractive physique and<strong> fast<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>metabolism.<\/strong> Therefore, you should pay extra attention to set up a proper weight loss diet. While a diet with plenty of protein can help with muscle maintenance, it is not as effective on its own as, for example, in combination with strength training. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[7-9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-it-will-not-help-to-tone-and-shape-the-physique\">3. It will not help to tone and shape the physique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The attractive physique that most people desire from weight loss can be achieved only if you add sports and exercise. If you start losing weight with a very strict diet consisting of only fruit and vegetables, you will definitely not avoid the <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/yo-yo-effect-and-how-to-fight-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">yoyo effect<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean? That you will lose weight very quickly. But only for a short period of time, because you <strong>will lose quite a bit of fat, but also muscle, due to the strict dieting.<\/strong> After the dieting is over and you reach your dream weight, you will go back to your normal routine, which also means a much higher energy intake. So gradually you will start to gain weight again. The bad news is that you usually end up with more fat and less muscle than before the dieting. Thus, when losing weight, you <strong>should give precedence <\/strong>to a well-adjusted diet combined with some exercise. This will help you tone your body and lose weight with far less risk of the yo-yo effect.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-1124412188-1-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Disadvantages of dieting for weight loss\" class=\"wp-image-338511\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"Disadvantages of dieting for weight loss\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-1124412188-1-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-1124412188-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-1124412188-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iStock-1124412188-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-customise-weight-loss-diet-plan\">How to customise weight loss diet plan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calculate your calorie intake using our <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/online-energy-intake-and-macronutrient-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">calculator.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Based on the suggested calorie intake and macronutrients, plan your diet for several days ahead.

In addition, <strong>large muscles are not needed<\/strong> when running or swimming, so the body has no reason to protect them and hold on to them at all costs. In fact, the body is a kind of economist, it basically <strong>evaluates what is advantageous for it<\/strong> and adjusts itself accordingly.

In doing so, they become fatigued and damaged, which manifests itself in tiny tears in the muscle fibres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The muscle mass, however, accepts the load as a challenge and will do everything to be stronger next time. This sets in motion a series of processes in the body that <strong>aim to repair damaged muscle tissue and promote its growth or hypertrophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this, you don&#8217;t have to lose muscle even when losing weight and you will sculpt your figure with strength training.

This can result in an <strong>acceleration of metabolism for up to 72 hours, but most often it is 24 &#8211; 48 hours after exercise.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[20-21]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-help-get-cravings-under-control\">5.

This is because, just like endurance sports, it has an effect on hormone levels that influence food intake. <strong>That way, you won&#8217;t succumb to sweets and other calorie-laden treats<\/strong> that await you at home when you get home from the gym.
