Weight Loss Methods

Really good blog post from Dean Somerset a well respected trainer. I bolded a few key items.


Intermittent fasting is a fantastic tool to help someone schedule their food intake to create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Keto is a fantastic tool if someone finds they're eating a lot of carbs and reducing them significantly helps to create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Cutting out sugar can be a fantastic tool if someone has a large portion of their diet coming from sugar sources, and cutting these out helps to create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Weight Watchers is a fantastic plan to help people track their food intake and understand the role of certain foods in how they affect weight loss, and this tracking can help create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Jenny Craig is a fantastic tool for people who want to skip the process of purchasing prepping, and measuring food in order to produce a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Paleo is a fantastic tool to get people to focus on the quality of their foods and to eat more nutrient dense foods that tend to have fewer calories, which can help create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Drinking a glass of water in the morning is a fantastic tool to help someone feel full in the morning versus eating a calorie heavy breakfast, which can help create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

Avoiding food intake after a certain time of night can be a fantastic tool to help reduce the impulse to snack or binge, which can help create a caloric deficit, which leads to weight loss.

All of these dietary means are effective. None are magical. Find a method that helps you get into a caloric deficit without causing you to hate everything about the process or put your health at jeopardy, and stick with it.
