One of the most powerful tips that I can give you especially if you new to training and nutrition⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐘⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
When dieting, training or even just wanting to drop a few lbs⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This is what we turn to >>⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
YOU drastically reducing kcals⁣⁣⁣
YOU excessively workout⁣⁣⁣
YOU increasing activity⁣⁣⁣
YOU restrict foods⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And when you do?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It's not just your body that can take a hit⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Just doing one of the above can have an effect on your mental health⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But often when we start a "plan" we try to do all 4 at once.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I have the first hand experience if this.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I TOTALLY GET IT. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Well, news for you...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
one of the things I heavily invested in, was learning how...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
1.) Protect your energy without having regular BURN OUTS - learning the principles of fat loss rather than focusing on the method⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
2.) Improving your relationship with food without the need to go "on and off diets"⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
3.) Quality of training rather than quantity - Not having the need to go training every day just because you think you have to ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
4.) Getting lasting results without the need to EVER needed to go "on and off-plan again"⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
When you learn this IT WILL change your life in more ways than one⁣⁣⁣

Weight loss does not happen weekly or equally ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 ^^⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We are forever sold weekly weight loss programs and plans so it's what we expect to happen right?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Most of us look for that weekly if not daily WEIGHT loss and if you're nodding right now let me tell you this >>⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Your weight will fluctuate depending on many factors.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Many rely on their weight as a measure of happiness ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Number on the scales go down >> Happy⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The number goes up >> disappointment and sadness ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
On top of the stress you put on yourself to lose WEIGHT weekly >>⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉You ban certain foods ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉You've over-committed with training and the number of sessions you do ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉You have guilt for having certain foods ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉You don't know how many calories you're consuming ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
👉You rely on exercise as the only way of progress ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
You put all the emphasis on weight loss and not results⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
You see food as "GOOD" & "BAD"⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
You rely on motivation⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Listen >> ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
The reason most DIETS fail >> it’s not sustainable, it has many rules and no EDUCATION. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
The most successful transformations have the education of nutrition to create freedom and flexibility within their calorie deficit⁣.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I mean if all diets educated people on nutrition and the fundamentals of fat loss then why do people put the weight back on or constanly do fad diets?⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Bottom line.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Creating sustainable daily habits, educate yourself on nutrition or find someone who can (OH HEY) and do not quantify your happiness on the number on the scales. ⁣⁣

5 Tips from me to you ⁣
⁣⁣
If you've set or been set a calorie target BUT you're going over each day or finding it hard to stick to it, then read on⁣ my friend....⁣
⁣
⁣⁣
1.Chances are your calories are too low. ⁣
⁣
Whenever I set a client's calories, I diet them on as many calories whilst keeping them within a deficit.⁣
⁣
WHY. Because they are more than likely gonna stick with it and be more consistent. ⁣
⁣⁣
A smaller but more consistent deficit is usually better than a bigger but inconsistent target. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣
⁣2.Focus not just on the quantity of foods but on the quality.⁣
⁣⁣
Choose more low-calorie foods >> veg, protein, fibre ⁣⁣
LIMIT but don't avoid high-calorie foods ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3.You will NOT be perfect daily or weekly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There will be no doubt a time where you will consume higher calories THAT'S COOL⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There will no doubt be a time where you go way over your daily calories THAT'S ALSO COOL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's how you overcome these obstacles and move on that matters.⁣
⁣⁣
Stay consistent and create habits ⁣⁣
⁣
⁣
4.Keep an eye on your acitivty>> ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you drastically increase your activity this has to reflect within your calories. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Too many people will set their calories at the point of their CURRENT activity then drastically increase their activity without any change to their calories.⁣⁣

We all come up with reasons why we put off making a change⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Why we put off dieting.⁣
⁣
Why we put off training⁣⁣.⁣
⁣
Why we put off making a change⁣,⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We feed ourselves excuses to why we can't >>⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Counting calories don't work....⁣⁣⁣
- I Can't keep up with exercise⁣⁣⁣
- I haven't got time⁣⁣⁣
- I'm to unfit ⁣
- Nothing works for me⁣
-It's my metabolism ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
People unconsciously select information that supports their views but ignoring non-supportive information.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We all do it, and it gives us a way out and backs up what we want to believe.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Listen to this...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We find ourselves regularly in situations that feed our excuses.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I TOTALLY GET IT!! I’VE been there before ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But it's the SMALL things we can do that will lead to the big goal/reward at the end.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You don't see an Olympian getting gold after training once?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It's the series of mini wins leading up to the big one they are remembered for.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The repetition.⁣
⁣
The consistency.⁣
⁣
The mini wins.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Don't give in just because the past diets haven't worked⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
or⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Because you think you can't make a change...⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Listen to this >>⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Focus on your mini wins ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Daily step count.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Daily food tracking.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-weekly exercise (not overcommitting) ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
These are all mini wins that we can do they lead to our big WIN, the end goal.⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Remember it's the habits we build that determines our success.⁣⁣⁣

Struggle with consistency?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Maybe you're trying to be too perfect and maintain an unrealistic approach...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Simplify your approach and you'll be more consistent.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Placing huge expectations on yourself to stick to unrealistic methods will always lead you back to the same starting point.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You don't have to spend hours prepping food. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You don't have to commit to 4 sessions a week ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You don't have to give up foods you want to eat
⁣⁣
The best results come from the ones that do less but remain consistent and patient.⁣⁣

Start Monday right?⁣
⁣
Been "on it" all last week?⁣
⁣
Been "Off it" all weekend?⁣
⁣
I totally get it, many of us will repeat the same process for years remaining stuck in the same rut treading water.⁣
⁣
Well, here's a couple of questions to help get some traction to slingshot you in the right direction. ⁣
⁣
⁣
What plan do you have in place to measure your progress?⁣
What plan do you have in place to keep you accountable?⁣
What plan do you have in place to help you change your current habits?⁣
⁣
Knowing what you are doing is one of the fundamentals to create long term change, without the need to follow a plan and go "on" and "off" it. ⁣
⁣
It's got nothing to do with How much you want it. ⁣

Most of us try and drop weight still adopting the same old habits and behaviours.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's why when we stop dieting or following that plan our weight comes back on.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The most successful transformations ALL adopt and changed their daily and weekly habits and behaviours that make weight loss a by-product. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Creating new habits and behaviours makes weight loss a lifestyle change and something that can be continued long after you have reached your target weight when you what to maintain. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Want to change your habits and behaviours?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let's talk...⁣⁣

They all work, we all know that.⁣
⁣
Whatever the diet.⁣
⁣
But it's what happens when we reach our results?⁣
⁣
How do we maintain that result?⁣
⁣
If you have followed a fad diet for a while and have got a result, how do you know how to maintain that result?⁣
⁣
Answer >> you don't.⁣
⁣
This is one of the many reasons many revert back to the start, only to repeat the same behaviours and eventually go back on another diet.⁣
⁣
We must educate, create, learn and build habits so that even long after we have reached our goal we can maintain our current position.⁣
⁣
Education and habits WIN every time.⁣

Some of us don’t want to track calories.⁣
⁣
Some of us don't cope well with this.⁣
⁣
So how can we still make progress without a form of measurement? ⁣
⁣
We want to see progress as let's be honest, it's what keeps us motivated to stay with something. ⁣
⁣
SO...⁣
⁣
Here are some simple ways to help reduce your calories, help in creating a calorie deficit without having to track. ⁣
⁣
𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 >> It will keep you fuller for longer and will also increase the number of calories burnt through digestion.⁣
⁣
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 >> plan your meals in advance, sticking to 3 structured meals a day. ⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 >> there are plenty of quick, high protein recipe books out there that have portion and calories control. ⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 >> if it's in the house, you're more than likely going to eat it. Don't buy readily available foods. If you want it, then you gotta go out and get it. ⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 >> sugary drinks and alcohol are very easily consumed adding to your daily and weekly calories consumption. ⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐩𝐬 >> there are a lot of lower calorie alternatives available, so rather than removing a food, you swop to the low-calorie option. ⁣
⁣
You can use these all to help form a calorie deficit, BUT start with one, form the habit then add in another later down the line. ⁣
⁣
Create habits to form a daily and weekly structure that will, in turn, make weight loss a by-product of many other benefits you will see. ⁣

IM Not a massive fan of the scales⁣⁣
⁣⁣
BUT⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know you lot like them 👀⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉So what if I told YOU⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Weighing yourself daily can be a GOOD thing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's a tool and can be used as one of MANY other forms of progress. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Weighing every day allows you to see fluctuations, understand them and how often your body weight changes.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you don't lose weight and hit a Plateau for a few weeks then YES you can adopt a small change in your nutrition or activity⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Some days the scales will fluctuate MASSIVELY
