The best diet to lose belly fat is not a "diet", not in the sense most people use dieting. But there is a way to eat that is right to improves body composition (lose fat and build muscle) and burn belly fat. In fact, if you cut calories, eliminate food groups and go on a weight loss program with complicated macros, this could completely back fire and make it more difficult to lose weight and keep it off. In this episode I share the science of calories for weight loss and give you the principles to know exactly how much you should be eating. This is called a calorie deficit: eat less than your body burn so that your body can use fat for fuel.  But there is something that matters even more for weight loss and losing belly fat, yet most people do not even consider it at all.  What matters more is WHEN you eat. In this episode you will learn: - What is your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)  - What is Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) - Why WHEN to eat needs to be part of your plan if you want to lose belly fat - When should you eat for weight loss and belly fat loss   And friend, if you want to know what is the best way to schedule your meals for belly fat loss, I invite you to come to my live FREE workshop on Thursday, September 17th.  In the workshop you will get exactly when to eat.
