The Secret to Eating More & Losing Fat

If you’ve ever thought that losing fat means eating less and constantly feeling hungry, I’ve got good news for you… you can actually eat MORE and still lose fat!

Sounds too good to be true? Let me explain.

The Science: Why Eating More Can Help You Burn Fat

When people try to lose weight, they often cut calories too aggressively, thinking that eating less is the only way to drop fat. But here’s the problem:

🔸 Your metabolism slows down – When you under-eat, your body adapts by burning fewer calories, making fat loss harder.
🔸 You lose muscle, not just fat – Eating too little, especially without strength training, can cause muscle loss. Less muscle = a slower metabolism.
🔸 Hunger leads to bingeing – If you’re constantly starving, you’re more likely to overeat later, undoing all your hard work.

The real key to fat loss? Eating the right foods in the right amounts to fuel your body properly.

3 Ways to Eat More & Still Lose Fat

Instead of just cutting calories, focus on eating smarter by prioritising foods that keep you full, support muscle growth, and boost metabolism.

1️⃣ Increase Your Protein Intake

Protein is essential for fat loss because it preserves muscle, keeps you full for longer, and has a high thermic effect (meaning your body burns more calories digesting it).

👉 What to eat?
• Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon & wholegrain toast
• Lunch: Grilled chicken with quinoa & roasted veg
• Dinner: Lean beef stir-fry with jasmine rice

2️⃣ Eat More Fibre-Rich Foods

Fibre slows digestion, stabilises blood sugar, and keeps you full, so you naturally eat fewer calories without feeling deprived.

👉 What to eat?
• Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with oats, chia seeds & berries
• Snack: Apple with almond butter
• Dinner: Lentil & vegetable curry with brown rice

3️⃣ Don’t Fear Healthy Fats

Healthy fats help balance hormones and keep you satisfied, preventing cravings for sugary, processed foods.

👉 What to eat?
• Breakfast: Avocado & poached eggs on rye bread
• Snack: Handful of mixed nuts & dark chocolate
• Dinner: Salmon with roasted sweet potatoes & asparagus
