⚙️ 5 Simple, Effective Fat Loss Rules You Can Actually Stick To

1️⃣ Stop Chasing Quick Fixes

Juice cleanses, detox teas, and 1,200-calorie meal plans don’t work long-term.

Why they fail:

• Unsustainable

• Damage your metabolism

• Lead to binge eating and fat regain

What works:
A moderate calorie deficit paired with weight training, daily movement, and balanced nutrition.

At Dowe Dynamics, we tailor nutrition plans to your schedule, preferences, and lifestyle — no starvation required.

2️⃣ Focus on Protein First

Protein is your fat-loss ally.

Why it matters:

• Keeps you fuller for longer

• Supports lean muscle (which burns more calories at rest)

• Reduces cravings

Aim for:
👉 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of body weight daily
👉 Spread across 3–4 meals/snacks

Easy protein sources:

• Greek yogurt

• Chicken breast

• Eggs

• Protein shakes

• Lean beef

• Tofu

3️⃣ Move Every Day — It Doesn’t Have to Be the Gym

Fat loss isn’t just about your 3-4 gym sessions.
Your daily activity makes a bigger difference.

Non-exercise activity (NEAT) burns more calories than most people realise.

Simple ways to increase NEAT:
✅ Walk 8–10k steps per day
✅ Take calls standing
✅ Use the stairs
✅ Stretch or mobilise in the evenings

At Dowe Dynamics, we encourage all clients to track steps and daily movement as part of their program.

4️⃣ Prioritise Strength Training Over Endless Cardio

Weight training is your secret weapon for sustainable fat loss.

Why it works:

• Builds muscle (increases metabolism)

• Shapes your physique

• Protects strength during a calorie deficit

We recommend:
👉 3 full-body or upper/lower split sessions per week
👉 Focus on compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, presses)
👉 Track your progress — it keeps you motivated

Our expert coaches at Dowe Dynamics will guide you through safe, effective weight training tailored to your ability.

5️⃣ Sleep, Stress & Hydration Matter More Than You Think

Your lifestyle outside the gym affects your fat loss just as much as your workouts.

Neglect these, and progress stalls.

Key habits:
✅ Sleep 7–9 hours a night
✅ Manage stress (walks, hobbies, meditation)
✅ Drink at least 2 litres of water daily

We check in with our clients on these factors during every assessment and adjustment session.
