Giving your body no choice but to burn fat daily

This is what I have done to turn myself into a fat burning machine!
1. Nutrition.
When you starve your body of the nutrients it needs it goes into starvation mode. You can be eating like a king yet still starve your body of the nutrients it needs to sustain itself. I suggest adding fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. Fruits should be kept more of a energizing type snack or as a breakfast (which is when lots of us need energy). Vegetables should be at least half of one of your daily meals, but better if it's in two meals. Also lower your animal meat consumption. It's medically proven we ingest too much protein in our diets and it has lead to some awful diseases, but at the very least it contains animal fat. So just think of it as lowering your fat intake.
2. Calorie intake
We hear so much flip flop about the importance of calories, but I would just like to say calorie intake is very important. A woman can take in just 10 extra calories a day and gain a pound a year. This means a 5 lbs a year gain is from eating 50 extra calories a day--which is incredibly easy to do with most diets. An average person needs approx 2,000 calories a day. If you want to promote fat burning, you must take in less calories than what your body needs. If you take in too little of calories, you place your body in starvation mode. There are caloric intake charts and generators all over the internet that will help you figure out what your daily calorie intake should be (https://www.exercise.com/tools/bmr-calculator). Personally I have been easy on myself and gave myself a 1,200 to 1,850 calorie intake limit. I have to take in more than 1,200 but no more than 1,850. This way I am not storing fat and I am forcing my body to burn fat to meet it's caloric needs.
3. Build Muscle
Fat is food for muscles. The more muscle you build, the more your calorie intake needs will be. So now all of a sudden a 2,000 calorie need is more like 2,300 but you keep your intake to under 2,000, you will increase your daily fat burning.
4. Cardio
I hate cardio more than anything! but no one can deny it's fat burning abilities. Adding some cardio a few times a week will also promote extra fat burning, but will not burn fat daily unless performed daily. It is not needed to see results, but will add to the results. If you have a hot tub, try at least sitting in that as often as possible for some light cardio.

And we're off.....
Starvation mode
Meat consumption leads to diseases
Fruit should only be a snack in the morning
Lower fat intake
Cardio burns fat but only if done daily
Build muscles in deficit
I appreciate you efforts, but pass.
Don't forget building muscle while lowering your protein intake.

*forehead slap* It's proven we only need 8 grams of protein a day which is in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. But I'm not arguing with ignorance... it only proves to be mind numbingly annoying.0

I essentially agree with this.This is what I have done to turn myself into a fat burning machine!

Calorie in/out is the basis of weight loss. No dispute from any journals of medicine.2. Calorie intake
We hear so much flip flop about the importance of calories, but I would just like to say calorie intake is very important. A woman can take in just 10 extra calories a day and gain a pound a year.

Unfortunately, it's improbable to build muscle while on a calorie deficit. Building muscle takes a surplus (adding muscle means adding weight and a surplus is needed to do that).3. Build Muscle
Fat is food for muscles. The more muscle you build, the more your calorie intake needs will be. So now all of a sudden a 2,000 calorie need is more like 2,300 but you keep your intake to under 2,000, you will increase your daily fat burning.
Disagree here. Do cardio for the cardiovascular benefits and if it's what one enjoys doing. Cardio doesn't directly burn fat, it burns calories. Fat is burned when the body is in deficit. One can do as much cardio as they like, but if the calories meet or exceed output, no fat is being burned. One actually burns more fat AT REST (resting and sleeping are 100% fat burns) than working out for 30 minutes on cardio. And sitting in the hot tub ISN'T cardio.4. Cardio
I hate cardio more than anything! but no one can deny it's fat burning abilities. Adding some cardio a few times a week will also promote extra fat burning, but will not burn fat daily unless performed daily. It is not needed to see results, but will add to the results.

Kudos on your success. I just believe it's important to ensure that information is correct.

Say WHAT?! I'ma need to see where it says that.0 -
I don't think anyone is taking issue with you describing what you do. It's the addition of the "why" that seems to have triggered the reactions. I think you can explain what your routine is without attempting to explain why exactly that routine works and nobody would take issue.
People tend to get a bit fussy when they feel misinformation is being spread, especially when said misinformation is being spread in the guise of advice.0 -

What? Please post a source for this.0 -
If you were joking then I found this post hilarious! If you were serious, I found it hilarious for other reasons.
Starvation Mode doesn't occur like you think.
It has NOT been medically proven that we consume too much protein.
Fruit only as snacks or breakfast? Why?
Cardio must be done daily to burn fat? Lolololol
Everyone's caloric needs vary and averages only work on a macro level.
5 calories extra per day is 1,825 extra calories per year. Do you even math?0 -

I'm really sorry you guys feel the need to turn someone's success story tips into your own troll-a-thon. Seriously, find something better to do, like working on your poor attitudes. I have just realized this community is full of disrespectful jerks and no longer would like to be a part of it. Enjoy your days and fill yourselves with pride, you have earned it... obviously.
And instead of questioning what I wrote, why don't you do a little research.

el oh el*forehead slap* It's proven we only need 8 grams of protein a day which is in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. But I'm not arguing with ignorance... it only proves to be mind numbingly annoying.
where the hell did you find that number
its .8g/lbs of lean body mass
so unless you weigh like 15 lbs your a little off with that number
and these posts are result of you sprouting the same stuff that people have proven time and time again on these forums to be false0 -
Imagining what the world would be like without condescending *kitten*...
I have been asked a lot on what I do, so I made it easy and posted it. So... if you could kindly exhibit more reasonable behavior and move on, it would be appreciated. I'm sorry I inadvertently triggered your troll button.
I imagine it would have a lot more nonsense and a lot less good information.0 -

First of all, using the r-word is really not cool.
Second of all, I'm happy for your success. But if you are going to make outrageous claims than it's on you to back them up. Please share the study that you found that says we only need 8 grams of protein a day.0 -
