There are 2 steps to weight loss

1. burn more calories than you consume (quantity)
2. consume adequate nutrients, particularly protein and fibre from veg (quality) to ensure that the lost weight comes from excess body fat and not lean muscle.

I wish we would stop arguing about who’s way is better to achieve weight loss. All methods are fine as long as they result in a calorie deficit.

Choose the method that best fits in with your life, your taste preferences and is as close to your regular routine as you can manage.
