You’re Not in a Calorie DeficitWorkouts burn fewer calories than you think.You can't out-train a bad diet—fat loss starts with eating fewer calories than you burn.🔹 2. You're Doing the Wrong WorkoutsIsolation and random movements won’t cut it.Focus on compound lifts and progressive overload to build muscle and burn more calories.🔹 3. You're Not Moving Enough Outside the GymYour steps and non-exercise movement (NEAT) matter more than you think.Aim for 8,000–10,000+ steps daily to support your deficit.🔹 4.
