Going on a diet is the biggest mistake you can make when trying to lose fat. Why? Because most “diets” are NOT based on sound nutritional principles, and usually have no long-term provisions for maintaining your fat loss. In other words, when you go on a diet, you eventually ‘go off the diet’ and do what? Go right back to the eating habits that caused the weight gain in the first place. The purpose of this article is to provide a simplified approach to fat loss without compromising nutritional integrity.
