There is no “one number” that is the exact number of calories you eat to be in a deficit.
When clients come to me, I always start them with calories on the higher end of maintenance 😱🤭
And guess what… I’ve had clients lose weight eating1700-1900 calories before we even dipped low into their deficit calories. But yes everyone thinks they need to be at 1400-1500 calories to see results.
I am not making my clients sit at 1500 calories for weeks on end until they reach their goal.
We start high and slowly trickle down for WEEKS.
Consistent weigh ins + adjusting calories and macros over a course of weeks/months.
Your first mistake was going to calorie calculator and immediately thinking you have to stay at the number is says to lose 1 # per week until you reach your goal!
You can be in a fat loss phase LONGER when your calories aren’t at the lowest they could possibly go at the start.

Rewiring what discipline looks like. It doesn’t have to be extreme to work.

When you really want fat loss, you can’t live the life the life of someone who already made it to their goal.
The same lifestyle that got you to wanting to make a change is the same lifestyle you won’t let go of to actually make the change.
The body I built had to go through the same thing everyone else went through to lose fat. The only difference is I didn’t give up! I was willing to track my macros, do my cardio, do my lifts, and say “no” for 11 months.
Now that I made it to my goal, I now can live that “balance” that everyone wishes they could have in the thick of fat loss.
If you really want it, fully accept the season of buckling up and locking in!

Everyone is so focused on WEIGHT loss, but not FAT loss.
If all the things in the first slide worked, it would’ve worked by now.
If all the things in the first slide worked, you wouldn’t be constantly looking for new fitness advice that could be the magic key to finally getting to your goal.
Notice how everyone will try the most outrageous things to lose weight, but always avoid the simple straight forward path.
Stop trying to convince yourself it’s impossible when you’re not doing any of the actual science based things that aid towards fat loss. And now a flat tummy detox is NOT a science based solution to fat loss. You’ll just 💩 your brains out.
You haven’t “tried everything” if you’ve never tried the BASICS for 6+ months.

I could have 10 reasons why I’m out of shape by now.
I was a HS student with no car begging my family to give me a ride to the gym and pick me up.
I’ve worked 2 jobs. Working doubles from 9am-11pm.
I’ve worked 2 jobs while being a full time culinary school student.
I’ve been pregnant while being a full time chef.
I had 2u2 and motherhood is in FULL effect right now.
At any of those points I definitely could’ve thrown in the towel and let my health and fitness become a thing of the past.
All the “I used to be in shape, but now I work” or now I am a mom, or because I’m in school, etc.
Your first mistake is expecting life to be easy and empty in order for you to get active!

Your dream body isn’t starving, only doing cardio, and never lifting real weight.
Your dream body that inspires you on social media eats 2,000+ cals a day.
It isn’t doing “booty burners” or “snatch your waist” workout circuits.
And it DEFINITELY isn’t only lifting 20 # dumbbells.
Your dream body isn’t built on endless cardio, snacking all day, and doing a bunch of random workouts with the same 5 # dumbbell.
It’s so funny how everyone thinks these are the things they need to do to get to their dream body, yet if that is what worked it would’ve worked by now!
You have to eat real food and meals with real macros.
Your cardio aids in burning additional calories to increase energy expenditure, but is NOT the pathway to having a toned looking physique. Cardio doesn’t build muscle.
I’ll put it to you this way: REAL weights, REAL food, and REAL structured training. Those are the big 3!
Pick one and start there!
Coming up on 2 years postpartum & every year keeps getting better 🫶🏾🤭
Moms, remember your child’s birthday is so important for YOU! It marks another year of the immense sacrifice it takes to be a mom.
Every birthday is also a celebration for the day you became a mother or the day you put your life at risk to multiply your family with love.
Every human on earth comes from a mother 🫶🏾
Something I don’t share a lot of are my CNS primers before my lift!
Before my main strength lift, I always do a power variation of the litt. It not only warms me and my nervous system (CNS) up for my first working set, but it also genuinely gets my body ready to push weight.
It is a great way to warm up WITHOUT fatiguing yourself with strength movements before your main lift. You go into the lift with your power activated to produce force quickly.
Try it out your next lift!
