Losing weight starts with your energy balance

To lose weight successfully, your body must burn more calories than you consume—this is called a calorie deficit . But it's not just about eating less: what you eat makes all the difference. Protein-rich foods help you stay full longer, support your muscle mass, and stimulate fat burning. By making smart food choices and adjusting your portion sizes, you can lose weight without resorting to extreme diets. This way, you'll work step by step toward a slimmer, healthier body.

Your basal metabolic rate is the basis of fat burning

Your resting metabolic rate (also called BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest, even when you're not doing anything. This is the basis of your fat burning and varies from person to person. Muscle mass, age, gender, and even your body type all play a role. The more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. Want to know how many calories your body really needs?

Losing weight works differently depending on body type

Your body type determines how you store fat, how quickly you build muscle, and how easily you lose weight. Ectomorphs often struggle to gain weight, endomorphs are more likely to store fat around the stomach and hips, and mesomorphs easily build muscle mass. By recognizing your body type , you can train and eat smarter. This way, you work with your body, not against it. On our website, you'll find explanations for each body type and which nutrition plan is best for you.

 
 

Hormones and mindset determine your weight loss success

Hormones directly influence how your body stores and burns fat. Insulin regulates your blood sugar levels; if there are too many fluctuations, your body will store fat faster. Cortisol , the stress hormone, can lead to emotional eating and fat storage around your belly. Estrogen influences your appetite and fat distribution, especially during your menstrual cycle or menopause. That's why losing weight doesn't work without paying attention to your hormonal balance. Combine this with a positive mindset, enough sleep, and relaxation, and you'll find that weight loss becomes easier and more stable.
