@caleighmackenzie: You don’t need to cut carbs. You don’t need to avoid fats. And you definitely don’t need to survive on chicken and vegetables. Protein helps support muscle and keeps you full. Carbs give you energy. Fats are essential for your body. And calories determine whether you’re actually in a deficit. Fat loss gets a lot easier when you stop labeling foods as “good” or “bad” and start understanding how they fit into the bigger picture. Keep it simple. Build balanced meals, hit your protein, and focus on consistency.
