How to Create a Calorie Deficit
I often hear that success leaves clues. One of the very first things that I believe YOU MUST pour all of your energy into when it comes to health and fitness is a SYSTEM. This system MUST include a nutrition plan that creates a calorie deficit that, if followed long enough, will get you weight loss results.
The math is simple—every 1 pound of fat is 3,500 calories. You need to multiply your weight loss goal by 3,500 and that will tell you how many calories you are in debt.

A Calorie Deficit Example
A 20 pound desired weight loss requires a calorie deficit of 70,000 calories.
If you cut 500 calories out of your current intake through nutrition and exercise, it would require 140 days of commitment.
You’d be surprised how minor cutting 500 calories is over the course of an actual day. It might just be a coupling a 30-minute walk while skipping your sugary soda or coffee and having your burger without cheese or mayo. These small changes can result in huge changes in body composition.
Seriously Minor Moves
The KEY is you have to manage your expectations because long term, sustainable weight loss requires a lot of self awareness.
It is important to acknowledge a strong WHY that articulates your desire for long term weight loss.
You have to be patient enough to develop a list of healthy foods that YOU enjoy and that will satiate you throughout the day. For example, I found that I need to place my healthy fat in a part of the day that helped keep me full at critical times. I learned that I am not as hungry first thing in the morning but I get really hungry at night.
You have to be willing to make mistakes and learn from them.
You have to understand that you will not lose a pound a day and that THAT result isn’t even healthy.
Therefore, understanding about creating a healthy deficit combined with a healthy variety of foods is THE BEST way to approach this.
Many nutrition plans have you eating so little, you end up creating a HUGE calorie deficit. This makes it hard to build lean muscle, which is another goal of our system. This also leaves you feeling hungry.
According to our Ultimate Portion Fix on BODi, you are looking to create no more than a 1,000 calorie deficit and sometimes the deficit is far less.
