The fat loss coach said there’s always options
A fat loss coach has shared what he does on a night out to not only continue to lose and maintain his weight goals, but to enjoy himself too. Patrick Wilson aka @gainsbypat took to TikTok to share with his 400k followers what he recommends others do.
He starts off the video by saying: “This is my go to fat loss meal whilst I’m eating out.” Noting he has around 700 calories left in the day to consume, he says that it’s much easier to see what’s on the menu for him when the calories are listed on the menu.
He starts by having a Diet Coke, which has 0 calories in it. The rest of the video shows videos of what meals he eats throughout the night, but towards the end of the video he lists what he recommends other people do. So here’s what you need to know.
He advises: “You have to pick and choose what you want when losing fat You cannot have everything. I would’ve rather had a bigger entrée than a dessert or a drink.“
He also says that with many restaurants and endless options, “there is normally always a higher protein, relatively low calorie meal out there that you can get when you’re out.”
When it comes to calorie counting, which is not for everyone, he explains: “Even if the calories weren’t 1000% perfect, I still accounted for it in someway.
“And it was relatively close. So when you’re going out to eat, that’s the most important thing.”
Another fat loss coach also recently shared some advice with Shayne Rowland, known as @proflex.health, saying you can lose fat by eating. Discussing how we burn calories while eating, he explains a process called TEF – Thermic Effect of Food. This refers to the number of calories your body uses simply to digest the food you consume.
“So yes, eating food actually burns calories and even boosts your metabolism,” he says. This highlights that, contrary to the common belief that eating less is the only way to see results, food can actually support your weight loss goals.
In fact, according to one study: “Evidence suggests that TEF is increased by larger meal sizes (as opposed to frequent small meals), intake of carbohydrate and protein (as opposed to dietary fat), and low-fat plant-based diets.”
