There are none. It's as simple as these three games:
1.) We need to consume less calories or burn more calories, such that we're losing fat.
2.) We need to have enough protein and resistance training that we hold on to muscle while we're losing fat.
3.) We need to have enough protein and fat, and "clean" enough carbs, that we feel full, satisfied, and happy at the lower calories.
One of the best lessons I ever learned, I learned in an article by my friend Dan John: Resist the urge to complicate things. If something isn't working in your workout program or diet, simplify.
