You are more than your body and it is not normal or healthy to be shredded lean with obvious muscle definition all over your entire body.

If you are lean up top, don’t expect the legs to be the same. If your arms and legs are lean don’t expect abs and back to be the same…and be healthy!

We have to carry body fat somewhere!! It’s unrealistic, unhealthy, and unsustainable to walk around shredded lean everywhere all year round. That isn’t meant to be a lifestyle. This advice of just try a little harder and be a little more patient is not it if you are already lean. You need a certain amount of body fat for healthy hormones, brain/cognitive function, bone health, immunity, reproductive health (if of age), and energy levels.

We truly are lucky to have a healthy body! Don’t take it for granted or put it at risk for aesthetics.

I have been in maintenance for several years and I still don’t have low enough body fat that I can step on stage for a body building competition any weekend I want. BECAUSE THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

If you want to lose obvious body fat it will require a calorie deficit and that is how many of the people you follow live year round to maintain their physique. But they call it maintenance and sell you a pipe dream so you can purchase their workouts or coaching because they must have some secret.

Those of you who truly are at maintenance get it and probably are connecting the dots. You don’t just need to worker harder. If you are expecting to LOSE FAT you will need a calorie deficit at some point.

Can you tell I’m over this narrative yet??

12 wks post rotator cuff tear repair surgery and here’s how much this has cost me so far!!

Still some potential bills to come in and I am not ending PT anytime soon so those copays will continue.

This doesn’t include any of the doctor appointments, 1st MRI, or PT that happened before surgery for last 18 months trying to figure it out and get out of pain.

Pray that I get full pain relief and range of motion at end of this!

The reason why many people finally see results “eating more” is not because they are actually eating more calories. They actually just started to fuel their body appropriately from start of day and it stopped those evening or weekend crash outs.

It feels like they are “eating more” to them because they aren’t used to eating actual meals. But when you track the calories of both methods you will realize you end up eating way more at some point (every evening/weekends) to make up for your lack of food consumption. Those good choices tend to be high calorie quick easy food. Lots of snacks.

If you were actually in a CONSISTENT calorie deficit with your prior methods you WOULD be losing fat. So if you aren’t, that is why. I will forever promote eating filling meals from start of day and avoiding letting your body get to place where it can’t even withstand waiting for a healthy decent meal prep. This is why we also recommend always having easy food prep so you have the options!! The goal is to avoid raiding the pantry!

Hopefully this makes sense. Obviously there is some nuance here where some people truly under eat and have some major adaptations and need to truly reverse diet. But the majority of people who are overweight aren’t stuck there because they don’t eat enough. Track what put in mouth and you realize real quick how calories add up.
