Try Fasting
Intermittent Fasting is insanely popular right now and with good reason: it is scientifically proven to promote fat loss.
Intermittent Fasting is all about fasting for a bit every day. The most used method of is the 16 / 8. This is where you fast for 16 hours and eat for 8 hours. Many people stop eating the night before at 8 p.m. and begin eating the next day at 12 p.m.
For example, your new eating schedule would look like this:
Sunday:
-
8 p.m. – Stop eating
-
Water, tea, and black coffee are okay
Monday:
-
12 p.m. – Begin eating
-
8 p.m. – Stop eating

Consider Cycling Your Carbs
Low carbohydrate diets are a proven way to support fat loss but if you are a very active person, especially if you are a weight lifter, you may need your occasional heavy carbohydrates days.
Consider cycling your carbohydrate consumption to match your most brutal training days. On those days you are going all out, eat more carbohydrates. On your rest days, focus on protein and healthy fats with no to minimal carbohydrates.
