How to Lose and Burn Body Fat the Smart Way
Alina featured as one of three expert voices in GQ's deep dive on fat loss - reframing fat as fuel rather than the enemy, and explaining why generic calorie rules don't hold up in real-world body composition.​
​
"The issue with assigning a generic calorie number to every person and body type, Alina Cox says, is that how much fat we actually lose is impacted by a whole range of factors from body composition to initial reductions in glycogen, fluids, and even proteins which may move the scales, but don't actually amount to fat lost."
