Fat loss isn’t about starving yourself or chasing fads — it’s about combining smart nutrition with training you can stick to. At The ABS Gym, we help Dublin clients drop body fat, keep it off, and feel great. In this section you’ll find practical guidance on creating a calorie deficit, structuring meals, managing cravings, and staying on track when life is busy.
You’ll learn how to preserve lean muscle while losing fat, why protein matters, and how to set realistic targets you can maintain. We also cover the mindset side: consistency, planning, and dealing with slip-ups without quitting. These are the same strategies we use with our personal training clients every day — simple, sustainable, and effective.
If you’re tired of quick fixes that fail, start here. Use the tips, try the sample meal ideas, and combine them with strength training for results that last.
