  • Do I have to stick to a calorie deficit?

Do I have to stick to a calorie deficit?

If your goal is weight loss - yes, but it doesn’t mean starving yourself. Fitatu® helps you set a healthy deficit so you can lose weight without hunger, fatigue, or the yo-yo effect. If you want to maintain weight or build muscle, you won’t need a deficit.
