Fat Loss Made Simple: Your Guide to Body Recomposition

The new year often brings a surge of motivation to make changes, but for many, the process of fat loss can feel overwhelming. At Amity Fitness, we believe fat loss doesn’t need to be complicated—it just requires clarity, consistency, and a focus on the right fundamentals. This guide will help you cut through the confusion and set yourself up for sustainable success.

What is Body Recomposition?

Body recomposition is the process of losing fat while preserving or building muscle. It’s not about crash diets or endless cardio—it’s about creating balance and making smart, sustainable choices that align with your lifestyle and goals.

The 3 Pillars of Effective Fat Loss

1️⃣ Nutrition: Fuel Your Goals

Fat loss begins with creating a calorie deficit—eating fewer calories than you burn. But it’s not just about eating less; it’s about eating better.

• Protein is non-negotiable: Aim for 1.6–2g of protein per kg of body weight daily to support muscle retention, satiety, and calorie burning during digestion.

• Focus on whole foods: Build meals with nutrient-dense ingredients like lean proteins, colorful vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

• Don’t overcomplicate carbs and fats: Balance your intake to fit your energy needs and lifestyle without eliminating any food group.

At Amity Fitness, our high-protein principles form the foundation of our nutrition support. Whether through meal planning, recipe books, or our soon-to-launch meal plans, simplicity and balance remain key.

2️⃣ Strength Training: Build While You Burn

To truly change your body composition, resistance training is essential. Strength training:

• Preserves muscle as you lose fat.

• Enhances your metabolism.

• Builds strength and confidence that carries over into all aspects of life.

Start with basic compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses. At Amity Fitness, sessions like RAW and Engine are designed to help you develop strength and endurance in a supportive, scalable environment.

3️⃣ Lifestyle: Small Changes, Big Results

Fat loss isn’t just about the gym and kitchen. Daily habits are crucial for progress.

• Prioritize sleep: Quality rest aids recovery, hormone regulation, and reduces cravings.

• Manage stress: High stress elevates cortisol levels, making fat loss harder. Adopt habits like walking, journaling, or mindfulness.

• Consistency over perfection: Follow an 80/20 approach—stay on track most of the time while allowing for life’s indulgences.

The Common Myths That Hold You Back

🛑 Myth 1: You need to cut carbs to lose fat.

Carbs are not the enemy. They fuel your workouts and daily life. Focus on portion control and whole options like sweet potatoes, oats, and fruits.

🛑 Myth 2: Cardio is better than weights for fat loss.

While cardio burns calories, strength training preserves muscle and shapes your body as you lose fat.

🛑 Myth 3: You need a "perfect" plan to start.

Waiting for the perfect time or plan often leads to inaction. Start small and build momentum.
