Yes, you do need a caloric deficit to lose
fat over a certain time period, but taking your daily calories too low can reduce your metabolism and halt your fat loss.
Eating processed or deep fried foods, trans
fats can all contribute to chronic health
over time, and diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and countless other illnesses can be contributed in part to the inflammation caused by
certain foods such as these that we choose to eat
over a prolonged
period of
time.
