However, weight loss tends to level out after the initial phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise plays an important role, but what you eat matters, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To lose weight effectively, create a calorie deficit (burn more calories than you consume). This deficit doesn\u2019t mean crash dieting but focusing on nutrient-dense, portion-controlled meals that give your body energy without surplus calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6163457\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/healthyliving\/weight-loss-a-healthy-approach\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistently hitting your workouts, fueling your body well, and incorporating recovery will lead to the best long-term results.
