It can be an accessory in making you burn more calories but main workout should be strength training 3-6 days a week, depending on your training experience.

One of the most popular trends in recent years has been the ketogenic or "keto" diet. This high-fat, low-carbohydrate approach aims to put the body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of glucose. While some people have had success with this diet, it's important to note that it only works if a calorie deficit is created by avoiding carbohydrates. In other words, if you're eating more calories than you're burning, you won't lose weight on keto.

Another trend that's been around for a while is the low-fat diet. This approach involves reducing the amount of fat in your diet and instead focusing on carbohydrates and protein. Like keto, it only works if a calorie deficit is created by reducing fat. However, some experts argue that low-fat diets may not be as effective as other approaches, as they can lead to increased hunger and cravings.

Intermittent fasting (IF) is another dieting strategy that's gained popularity in recent years. This approach involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, with the goal of creating a calorie deficit. Again, it only works if a calorie deficit is created, but some people find it easier to stick to than other diets, as it allows for more flexibility in meal timing and food choices.

Overall, it's important to remember that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and weight loss. What works for one person may not work for another, and it's important to find a strategy that's sustainable and enjoyable in the long term.

Nuts and seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and can be considered a major source of both protein and fats. These tiny, yet mighty, foods are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can provide numerous health benefits.

When it comes to protein, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are great options that pack a punch of protein in each serving. On the other hand, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, and walnuts are high in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that can help improve heart health and support overall wellness.
