Almost everyone who is interested in changing the way they eat is motivated by fat loss. There's nothing wrong with this, and given the state of the country (and much of the world), it's an appropriate motivation.
Changing your diet (as opposed to going on a diet) to facilitate fat loss really comes down to just three simple things:
- Reducing the amount you eat. (Quantity)
- Reducing how often you eat. (Frequency)
- Eating better foods. (Quality)
That's it! You don't have to do all three (although it usually helps). Some people even increase their meal frequency, but with a reduction in quantity and usually and increase in quality.
