📢 Why Eating LESS Can Actually Cause You to GAIN FAT!

💡 Ever wonder why cutting calories isn’t working? Here’s the truth:

1. Your Body Has a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)👉 Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs just to survive – think of it as the energy required to keep your heart beating, lungs breathing, and brain functioning.

2. Eating Less than Your BMR Puts Your Body in “Survival Mode”❌ When you don’t eat enough calories to meet your BMR, your body thinks it’s starving. It doesn’t have enough fuel to function, so what does it do?It stores fat to save energy and breaks down muscle to make up for the missing calories.

3. Losing Muscle Slows Down Your Metabolism💪 Muscle burns calories, even at rest. When you lose muscle, your metabolism slows down, making it even harder to lose fat. So, eating too little = losing muscle = harder to lose weight!

4. Eating Enough Calories & Protein = Fat Loss✔️ To lose fat, you need to fuel your body with the right amount of calories, especially protein, so it can hold onto muscle and burn fat instead. Eating more of the right foods boosts your metabolism and helps you burn more calories!

Bottom Line:🚨 If you’re not eating enough, you’re telling your body to store fat. Eat enough calories and protein to protect your muscle and watch the fat melt away!
