What is a calorie deficit?
Okay, so we’ve all heard of a calorie deficit, but what does it actually mean? Put simply, a calorie deficit is merely burning more calories than you consume. Cutting back on your daily calorie intake while also burning more calories than you consume is a great way to lose weight effectively and sustainably.
Monday
Breakfast
We usually find ourselves rushing out the door to head to exante HQ on a Monday morning- so that’s why we’ll be grabbing our world’s first clear meal replacement shake, JUICED, to enjoy on-the-go.
Light on the stomach and filled with protein, fibre and 27 vitamins & minerals, JUICED is the best way to start the week!
