When Elizabeth Gaines started, our goal wasn’t just to lose weight, it was to lose body fat but add lean tissue, basically looked like she was working as hard in the gym as she does, but do it in a way that works for the long term.
We started with a primer phase to build consistency around nutrition, training, digestion, and recovery. Then we moved into fat loss, making small adjustments as needed to keep progress steady.
Along the way we worked through:
• Multiple vacations and family travel
• Holidays, birthdays, and meals out
• Sick kids and schedule changes
• Digestive issues
• Scale stalls and water retention
• The mental battle that comes with a long fat loss phase
We didn’t overhaul the plan every week.
We stayed objective, trusted the data, and kept moving forward.
By the end of fat loss, Liz was way more shredded and had higher confidence in her ability to handle the challenges that come up. She learned to trust trends (and me) over emotions, stay consistent through real life, and understand that progress and the scale isn’t always perfectly linear.
Now she has a GREAT baseline for us to build on going into the next phase and I’m so excited to see her keep crushing it!
