When you’re focusing on fat loss, two ideas should always be kept in mind:
You have limited recovery ability due to the caloric deficit (less food).
Your workout plan should not inhibit performance a great deal. It should be just enough to bounce back from (recovery is crucial) on a regular basis.

Training for fat loss can be done in many ways. You can train two
days or six days and still get great results. The trick is in balancing
the training and diet stress with the rest of your life.
Most people with normal lives and regular jobs don’t have a ton of extra time to spend in the gym.
So while some can make it to the gym every single day for an hour or
longer, others might only have three hours per week for regular weight
training.
Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of schedule
availability, there’s always a solution. And when you’re determining
that solution, it must fit in with your schedule so you’re sure to stick
with it.
You can successfully lose fat training two or six days per week. The
program and frequency you choose will be based on your availability,
stress load and preferences.
Remember: consistency with your program will trump
almost every other variable because even following a slightly less
optimal program regularly will yield far better results than casually
following a more demanding, more advanced program.
When training for fat loss, focus should be placed on the following variables:
Training: Program is built upon the compound lifts emphasizing progressive overload.
Nutrition: Consuming enough protein, carbs and fat to fuel activity, but create a slight deficit.
Recovery: Getting enough rest and downtime to rebuild and repair.

SIDE NOTE: here at JCD Fitness, we don’t recommend
training more than four times per week when the goal is fat loss.
Recovery is going to be hindered as a result of the caloric deficit and
it’s very easy to dig yourself into a hole very quickly if your training
is challenging.
