Despite what they say about all these "fat burning" foods, isn't it still just more effective to eat less?

[Anonymous]

almonds, grapefruit, avocado, coconut oil, lean proteins, egg whites, honey, flax/chia seeds, whole grains, apples, spinach, blueberries, olive oil... all claim to burn fat but what if i just didn't eat them and instead left like 500 calories of those things out.
these are what i eat every day, and im maintaining my weight, not losing it. AND i get 3 hours of cardio a day

1. Eat those foods that burn fat, and don't cut out those 500 calories.
2. Drink at least a gallon of water a day.
3. Do HIIT instead of cardio. You can get a better workout in 45 minutes rather than 3 hours.

i dont have the energy or endurance for HIIT

[Asker]

so instead i put in 3 hrs

[Opinion Owner]

That literally makes no sense. If you don't have the energy, it's probably because you're not eating healthy foods in the right amount, and you have enough energy to do cardio for 3 hours but not go hard for 2 minutes at a time? You seriously have no idea how to workout or fuel your body.

Have you ever considered that the reason you're not losing weight is because what you're doing doesn't work?

[Asker]

I am losing weight. I lost 7 pounds doing this but I need to lose 5 more

[Asker]

and i dont do three hours at once i go three times a day. and i mostly use coffee for energy

[Opinion Owner]

I'm telling you, do HIIT

[Asker]

give me an example of HIIT workout? on treadmill or elliptical

[apple24]

I think so!

[Mongo112323]

You're wrong

[apple24]

@Mongo112323 How?

[Mongo112323]

Because it's better to eat a moderate amount of healthy food rather than eating a little of junk food.
1. The healthy food will fuel your body better, making it easier to exercise
2. Te healthier food will provide the proper vitamins, minerals, and macros that your body, and metabolism, needs to function. Whereas the junk food would not provide those nutrients.

@Mongo112323 Oh okay. I wouldn't know I am a fat girl myself hahah!

@Mongo112323 First I have to figure out how not to go crazy with hungry.

[JC103]

Why don't you just do both.

[Iron_Man]

[trumpetplayerforlife]

It works doesn't it lol

[Mongo112323]

@trumpetplayerforlife it's not healthy

[trumpetplayerforlife]

@Mongo112323 but it works

[Mongo112323]

@trumpetplayerforlife not necessarily, to lose weight your metabolism has to burn more calories than you consume; however your metabolism needs food to function. If you don't eat your body will go into starvation mode, causing your metabolism to shut down.
