Here’s the secret to weight loss: It's all about crowding out, not cutting out. Struggling to lose weight because you’re always hungry?
Well, you’re not alone. Managing hunger during a fat loss diet is a fine art, one I’ve been helping clients with for years. In fact, back in 2020, my article called 11 Tips to Feel Full on a Fat Loss Diet became a huge hit among readers and clients alike. In addition, as part of my online coaching service, I have a private client Facebook group, where I host monthly live presentations on a topic of the clients’ choice. This month, the majority voted for a presentation on hunger management during fat loss. The evergreen interest in this topic thus inspired me to revamp my old article with all the extra knowledge I’ve gained in the last two years. That’s how this guide was born. In my experience, the struggle with hunger comes down to three main problems:
This article is going to empower you with the knowledge to overcome these challenges and become a master of hunger management. Ready to conquer your hunger?

There’s no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way – diet and exercise and stick to it – and be able to do it at your own pace. Are you spending hours on MyFitnessPal, painstakingly adding in each meal ingredient by ingredient, fighting the database to find the right entries in a sea of green ticks?
Is this driving you insane? Then you absolutely need to read this article. It’s based on a presentation I recently created for my clients’ Education Library, and it covers five easy hacks to complete your food log in five to ten minutes per day. Yes, it’s possible. Ready to stop wasting time that could be better spent making gains? Then smash that “Read More” button. It’s all about how you treat your body. It’s proper rest and proper nutrition. Worried about ruining your fat loss progress during the summer holidays?
This is the article for you. First of all, being nervous is a good thing:
Second of all, being nervous is completely normal. You’re going away from home, maybe somewhere you’ve never been before. Your routine is going to be all over the place. The healthy habits you’ve carefully crafted for months will need a radical change. It’s OK to feel a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, maintaining your fitness habits is far from impossible… if you treasure the five steps I’ll cover in this article. This approach is based on my recommendations to my own clients, who end up not only maintaining their results like pros, but also having a smashing time. Let’s get right into Step 1. Discipline is knowing what you’re supposed to do and doing it as best you can. If you’re struggling to balance your diet with your social life, you need to read this.
I’m going to cover the five steps I coach my clients through in order to navigate fat loss and social events effectively. The reason why a lot of people fail and give up on their diet is that they try to be unrealistically strict, avoiding all social events and eating out of Tupperware forever. This isn’t my approach. Whilst you need discipline, you also need a certain degree of flexibility. This article is going to teach you the appropriate balance between the two. Let’s get stuck in. At the age of thirty-seven, I was fat, and since the age of thirty-eight, I have never been fat again. That’s the whole idea of effective weight loss – it’s permanent because it’s part of your lifestyle and the way you think about yourself, with pride and a sense of accomplishment. The goal you achieve is your own – you own it. All the diets that work, have one characteristic in common: a calorie deficit.
By definition, a calorie deficit is a state in which you’re eating fewer calories than you’re expending to keep your body alive, go about your daily activities, and exercise. This is how you can lose body fat over time. Once you achieve your fat loss goal and want to maintain your weight, then you don’t need to stay in a deficit. You now need to achieve calorie balance, or a state in which your calorie intake (food) matches your output (survival, daily activities, and exercise). To accomplish this, you need to increase the amount of calories you’re eating. Hurray! However, if you increase them too much, you can accidentally get into a calorie surplus, which is the opposite of a deficit and will cause fat gain. So by how much should you increase your calories without regaining weight? In this article, I’m going to teach you a three-step method to calculate your maintenance calories for when you’re done with your diet, or when you want to take a temporary break from it. I take this approach with myself and all my clients to ensure they not only drop fat, but also maintain those hard-earned results. |
