~ 1200 CALORIES ~
When your in fat loss phase and your trying to drop weight butttttt your calories are WAY too low.
I’m sure you’ve been there right? You tell yourself that’s it! I’m going to “cut out” all the “bad” stuff…
You tell yourself carbs, sugar, even fruit is off limits and you restrict yourself to the most boring, bland unenjoyable food around.
Sure, it works for a couple of days, and then it doesn’t. The hunger kicks in, the food noise, the constantly thoughts about when you can eat again and what, until it’s all consuming.
Then, you give in. You eat the chocolate, the cookies, or the custard straight from the carton 🙈 and you don’t just eat one, you’re full blown stuffing yourself at this point.
Once your done you feel regretful, ashamed and disappointed that you can’t “stick to anything”
You tell yourself “I’ve tried all the diets and nothing works”
Here’s the thing, of course it was never going to work, it was far too restrictive! Let alone completely unsustainable.
I can’t tell you how often I see this. Clients in a bit to lose weight they believe they have to eat as little as possible and cut out everything they enjoy.
That’s never going to work. Firstly your calories and macros should be tailored to you, your lifestyle and your goal. Not copying off some influencer who has no credibility trying to take your money.
If your calories are too low, you will never be able to stick to them, and you will constantly feel like you are failing.
With my clients, the goal is always to create consistency around food first. That means regular meals, not going too long with out eating and ensuring that your not simply snacking all day in a bid to “eat less”
There will be times where you will be hungry, absolutely! But not to the point where your ravenous and hiding in the cupboard for relief 😅
You can lose weight, drop body fat and actually enjoy the process. It just needs to be tailored to you.
My clients don’t live like this, I simply wouldn’t let them. And you shouldn’t have to either!
