Anyway, calorie deficit is the foundation, no matter how you eat or train.
Also worth mentioning that without proper recovery and sleep, a deficit doesn’t work consistently.

Strength training helped me keep my energy levels and appearance while losing weight. I used to focus mostly on cardio , but with MadMuscles I really understood how important strength work is for how you look and feel.

Totally agree. Without strength training, the body just looks “flat” even if the scale goes down.
I’m new here and honestly looking for a way to lose weight without dieting. I’ve read reviews about MadMuscles, Fitbod, and a few others, and I’m trying to find something sustainable because strict diets always made me quit.
You’re thinking totally right. Sustainability beats speed every time and extremes almost always lead to a rebound.
I also noticed that training kind of fixes nutrition on its own. Less urge to overeat, better daily structure, more awareness overall.
Quick question: do you really have to count calories, or can you rely on how you feel and visible progress?
Nice idea

I think you can count the calories at first, and then you will just get used to it and rely on how you feel without counting.

I started without tracking calories, just focused on portion sizes and consistency, and it worked surprisingly well.
“Nutrition is 80%” sounds catchy, but it’s way too simplified. In real life, results come from a mix of food, training, recovery, and habits.
