Negative energy balance is burning more that you take in for fat loss
with a focus on losing fat, not just 'weight'

HOW TO CREATE A NEGATIVE ENERGY BALANCE

1. Build muscle with weight training (about 5 hours of total exercise each week) and proper nutrition
2. Create muscle damage with intense weight training
3. Maximize post workout energy expenditure by using high intensity exercise
4. Regular program change to force new stimuli and adaptations
5. Boost non-exercise physical activity
6. Increase thermic effect of feeding by increasing unprocessed food intake
7. Eat at regular intervals throughout the day
8. Eat lean protein at regular intervals throughout the day
9. Eat vegetables and/or fruit at regular intervals
10. Incorporate omega-3 fats
11. Incorporate multiple exercise modes
12. Stay involved with “life” outside of exercise and nutrition
13. Sleep 7-9 hours each night
14. Don’t engage in extreme diets for risk of long-term overcompensation
15. Stay consistent with habits
16. Ignore food advertising

I wish I could link out to the source material, but these snips are from a private site and I cannot. It is a credible source.
