I finally kept off 30 lbs (without myfitnesspal) when I realized this👇🏻

>> The more simple the strategy, the more consistent you’ll be.

>> The more you enjoy the process, the more consistent you’ll be.

>> You can have the most “optimized” plan in the world, but if you don’t actually stick to it (because it’s so f*cking optimized!)…it doesn’t matter.

>> Your body doesn’t care about random rules.
It follows principles—and you’re either following them or you’re not (like calorie balance).

What surprised you from this list? What would you add? Let me know below⤵️

The truth is that some of these messages will be “toxic” for the woman who has an unhealthy relationship with food or takes things to the extreme.

My work isn’t for that woman.

It’s for the woman who wants to do food, fitness and fat loss in a *self-respecting,* balance way (the essence of Relaxed & Lean Academy).

That doesn’t mean living in lala-land where focus, grit, and saying “no” aren’t required.

That’s not being an adult.

Black & white, extreme thinking isn’t going to fly around here🫡🤝

What’s something you used to think was “toxic” but now don’t?⤵️

I’ll go first: any intentional weight loss, exercise for aesthetics, saying “no” to fries😅

Here’s the truth about fat loss most won’t tell you⤵️

(If you want to STAY lean with your sanity in tact)

1. It comes down to calorie balance. You don’t need to track your food to get there. It’s a tool. (MANY track food & still don’t get results because it’s not suited to them!)

2. You’ll have to say “no” to things you’d normally say “yes” to. These don’t need to be extreme, though. Small things add up.

3. If fat loss makes you miserable or abandon things that really matter to you, like relationships, you’ll either lose yourself OR gain it back.

4. The more you try to eat, exercise & live like someone else, the less likely you are to maintain. I promise there’s no “right” way to lose weight.

5. If you’re willing to treat your mind or body like sh*t to get lean, you shouldn’t be doing it.

6. Technology is making people dumber. Critical thinking skills with food, fitness & your body will take you SO much farther—it just requires more brain-power up front.

I don’t teach fat loss like most of the industry, because I don’t want to live like 99% of them.

You don’t have to, either❤️
