1️⃣I stopped guessing calories: I aimed for ~1,900-2000 Cal/day instead of “eating healthy” and hoping.
2️⃣ I prioritised protein: ~40g per meal. “Where’s my protein?” became automatic.
3️⃣ I repeated meals. A LOT.: Oats + protein. Chicpea, Beans + salad.
Cottage cheese. Protein shake. Roasted veg.
Boring. Effective.
4️⃣ I spread my calories across the day: No starving all day → accidentally eating 2,000 calories at bedtime. My energy was better too.
5️⃣I tracked the sneaky stuff: Oil. Sauces. Nuts. “Just a bite.” Drinks. Nothing was banned. I just stopped pretending it didn’t count.
6️⃣ I changed how I ate out: Protein first. Veg where possible. Less of the giant pile of rice/bread.
7️⃣I stopped letting one meal derail me: A big meal = a big meal.
Not “I’ve ruined everything.”
8️⃣I made 12k steps my baseline.: Not magic. Just a simple way to keep moving throughout the day.
9️⃣I lifted 4x/week.: The results weren’t instant, but months of consistency compound.
🔟 I chased numbers beyond the scale.: Heavier leg press.
Heavier RDLs. Better pull-ups. The scale stopped being my only scoreboard.
1️⃣1️⃣I stopped restarting:.Bad day? Normal next meal.
Missed workout? Tomorrow.
No Monday required.
1️⃣2️⃣I repeated the boring stuff for months. Same meals, same workouts, same routine!
Started around 84kg.
Now around 74-75kg.
~10kg down since January.
The boring stuff works because you can actually keep doing it.
