  • STRENGTH TRAINING!!!! Even if it's just body weight stuff!! You need to build muscle to burn the fat, not just do cardio to lose quickly.

  • IIFYM is an acronym for "if it fits your macros". It is not about calories necessarily. It's about tracking your macronutrients - protein, carbs, and fat. You can adjust your goal percentages in the settings section. It is VERY effective if you have your macros set appropriately.
