The primary goal of an LCD is to create a calorie deficit, which means that the number of calories consumed is less than the number of calories burned through daily activities and exercise. This calorie deficit forces the body to turn to stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss. | The primary goal of an LCD is to create a calorie deficit, which means that the number of calories consumed is less than the number of calories burned through daily activities and exercise.
