You do have to put in the work - but you don’t have to be perfect

Every action you take lies somewhere between where you were at your worst and absolute perfection

That’s a very large gap

Realistically, as long as you’re doing a little bit better overall week in and week out, you’ll see results

Take the idea of perfect out of your thoughts completely. Just be better

If you used to eat an entire pizza to yourself and now only eat 3/4’s of one - that’s progress

If you used to escalator at work and now you take the stairs - that’s progress

How you’re doing on your weight loss journey is relative to how you evaluate it

Maybe you’re not where you want to be right now but as long as you’re moving in that direction then you are succeeding

Being positive with improvements you are making in your lifestyle will motivate you to continue to improve

If you focus on things that aren’t yet perfect, you’ll feel discouraged and give up

No one is perfect. Pictures you see on social media are not reality. They are done in ideal lighting, photoshopped and do not show the person’s struggles. Everyone has them

Be patient. Be positive. Be a little better every day 💪🏼

Let’s face it

You probably know what to do

All of the researching is just a way of making you feel like you’re being productive

When really it’s just delaying you from starting

So if you are really stuck and need help

Or need extra accountability

Comment or DM me the word “PLAN” and we can get you on the path to losing fat, building lean muscle and actually transforming your body

When you have a plan ahead of time, you have fewer decisions to make

Fewer decisions mean less stress and more consistency

And even if your plan has to change a bit, that’s ok

It’s better to adapt than to be making last minute decisions all the time

Less decision making fatigue

So each night, take 5 minutes (actually can be more like 2)

And plan out your day tomorrow 💪

Focusing on what you can’t do won’t get you anywhere.

If you’re trying to lose weight you need to take action

It doesn’t have to be perfect

The longer you wait for things to be perfect,
the less likely you are to succeed

Just try to do a little bit more each week

Eventually you’ll get the result you want 😊

Changing habits is the key to long lasting weight loss

Getting those new habits to stick is what’s tough and the reason why so many people struggle

What I’ve noticed is that people tend to look for other ways to lose weight without having to make these fundamental habit changes

Little challenges, detoxes, products etc are all good ways of jumpstarting the process…

But unless you find a way to make them stick, you’re going to end up right back where you started

You shouldn’t be trying to make things more complicated

That’s just distracting you from what is really going to work (and you know this but you also know yourself and that changing your habits is gonna be tough 😉)

So take a step back and focus on 1-2 things at a time that will put you on the path towards success

Build off of them

These 5 things are easy ways to improve your habits, make being in a calorie deficit more attainable and ultimately make the path to your end goal much more attainable

The reason why most people struggle with losing weight isn’t because they are doing the wrong things.

It’s because they just don’t try for long enough

Of course some things will work better than others and some will be more sustainable

But no matter what your strategy for losing weight is, if you don’t give it time to work, how do you even know if it was an effective strategy at all??

Of course you can tweak your plan as you go. That’s normal

But altering course every few weeks is a sure fire way to get you nowhere.

Some people lose quickly at first and then it slows down

Some people work hard for a month with no changes and then it drops in the 2nd month

So don’t compare your progress with anyone else’s

As long as you’re in a reasonable calorie deficit then you’ll lose weight.

Finding that target is where the tweaks will come in because that too, is very specific to each person

So no matter which strategy you choose, give it a real, honest chance before jumping into something else

What do I suggest that plan be?

✅Strength training 3-5x a week
✅15-30% calorie deficit
✅High protein
✅15-20 mins of cardio 3-5x a week
✅Lots of whole foods

Don’t overthink this

Do whatever works best for you and your schedule

That is always going to be the best option.

You’re going to have days where you’ll eat more and you’ll have days where you eat less.

That is ok

Your focus should be on coming close to your target on average

Sometimes a little break from the deficit can help your body recover and reduce stress - and even a break from tracking might be sometimes needed for you mentally.

Not being in a deficit for a day here or there or even a week will really affect your overall progress.

Sure, it might take a little bit longer to get where you want but sometimes the scenic route is much more pleasant 😊

If you need help building the ideal plan for you

Or help actually sticking to it and being accountable

There is absolutely nothing wrong with cardio

It’s great for overall health and to help burn some extra calories

But if you’re relying on it to create your deficit then you’re probably going to have a tough time unless you can workout all day 😉

Your number 1 priority when it comes to losing fat is to focus on nutrition and maintain a good deficit

More protein and vegetables will help you to achieve this

Lift weights to maintain muscle,

Do cardio to improve endurance and energy

And eat properly to lose fat (it will also help you to do all the other things too 😉)
