The Importance of Navigating What Works Best for You in Fat Loss

In the world of fitness and health, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss. In this video, Thomas DeLauer shares nine things that do not work for him when it comes to weight loss. It is important to note that different methods work for different individuals, and what may not work for Thomas may work effectively for others.

Eating More Than 3-4 Meals a Day

DeLauer does not thrive on eating more than three to four meals per day. He finds that this results in overconsumption, as his metabolism is kept active throughout the day through frequent meals. This approach may be suitable for some individuals, but it could lead to excessive caloric intake for others.

Fasting Every Day

While fasting can have numerous health benefits, DeLauer finds that fasting every day leads to muscle atrophy. It is essential to balance all aspects of health, and fasting every day may not be as beneficial to some individuals as it is claimed to be.

Limiting Carbs to 150g Per Day

There is no doubt that carb intake is an essential determinant of fat loss. While many individuals benefit from a low-carb diet, limiting carb intake to fewer than 150 grams per day removes vital nutrients from the body. DeLauer finds that upping his carbs and incorporating a moderate amount of exercise into his routine has been the most effective approach for his body.

Avoiding MSG

While some individuals may be sensitive to and intolerant of monosodium glutamate (MSG), DeLauer finds no benefit from avoiding it. Many foods that he enjoys are made with MSG, and in moderation, it has not impeded his weight loss goals.

Low-Meat Diet

DeLauer highly values the protein content of meat in his diet, and a vegetarian approach simply doesn’t work for him. Vegetarianism is a lifestyle choice that individuals should make based on personal preference and beliefs, rather than solely for weight loss goals.

The Benefits of Butcher Box

Butcher Box is a brand that provides meat boxes containing high-quality meat options. DeLauer emphasizes the importance of knowing where meat comes from and the quality of what is consumed. Using code TDL100, individuals can receive $50 off their first two boxes from Butcher Box, a great initiative for those who prioritize knowing the source of their food.

Morning Workouts

Though morning exercise is recommended for some, DeLauer does not thrive on a fed morning workout routine. Instead, he prefers to consume a pre-workout supplement before a fasted workout. As with every aspect of weight loss, it is important to identify what works best for one’s body.

High Saturated Fat Diet

While high levels of saturated fat have often been associated with poor health, such as heart disease, DeLauer does not find this to be the case. He has comfortably incorporated a diet that is high in saturated fat while in ketosis, a state of metabolic fueling that relies on fat burning. As with all processed foods, moderation is key, and individuals should eat within their personal limitations.

Seed Oils

Seed oils, such as sunflower oil, may not work for everyone when it comes to weight loss. DeLauer finds that they are inflammatory and, therefore, avoids their consumption.

Low Glycemic Carbs Early in the Day

Consuming low glycemic-index carbs early in the day provides a steady flow of energy throughout the day and reduces the risk of overeating. DeLauer finds this to be an effective approach to his weight loss goals, as it provides a sustained level of energy while providing a sense of fullness.

Eating Within 2 Hours of Bed

Though this approach may work for some individuals, DeLauer finds that eating within two hours of bedtime results in an upset stomach and poor sleep quality. Rather than rule out this approach altogether, individuals should listen to their bodies and make the appropriate adjustments.

Conclusion

In conclusion, navigating your weight loss journey through trial and error is vital to finding what works best for you. Thomas DeLauer’s suggestions provide a starting point for those seeking various approaches, and it is up to each individual to determine what works best for them. With patience, personalization, and determination, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals.
