Debunking Calorie Deficit and Targeting Visceral Fat
Most people want to lose weight, but it’s always a question of whether they want to lose weight or if they want to lost fat. And in the process of losing weight, mindset also plays a very important role. Contrary to popular belief, calorie deficit isn’t always the way go because in the process, you lose protein, nutrients, and eventually muscle. Losing fat is a battle of hunger; everyone wants to eat less but why can’t we all just eat less? And According to Dr. Sean O’Mara the best way to losing visceral fat is eliminating process food, sprinting, and lifting weights.
The Right Diet
The Sapiens diet is not down one path. It’s not paleo, keto, carnivore, or Whole30, it’s somewhere in between and based on ancestral health. It’s all about what works, what doesn’t, and why. A lot of it comes down to nutrient density for a diet to work long-term. It’s protein, nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and energy. Your body doesn’t need a name, but it needs nutrients and the correct amount of energy from fat and carbs.
