What Happens in a Calorie Deficit?
I'm pleased to share my recent involvement as a contributing consultant for an article published by Men's Health. The piece, titled "Calorie Deficit Explained & 5 Surprising Side Effects" offers insights at this fundamental aspect of nutrition.
While Men's Health magazines often feature condensed versions of articles, this full, comprehensive guide is available online. My role was to ensure that all the scientific information, from the core principles to the nuanced effects, was precise and grounded in evidence-based nutrition.
My Role in Ensuring Scientific Accuracy
As a Sports and Performance Nutrition Consultant, my commitment is to providing reliable, evidence-based advice. For this Men's Health feature, I ensured nutritional information I provided was scientifically sound, practical, and safe for readers.
The article provides a clear understanding of calorie deficits, exploring both their benefits and the often-overlooked physiological and psychological effects. It offers actionable guidance on how to manage a deficit sustainably, protect muscle mass, and identify signs of insufficient energy intake, all while aiming for improved health markers.
