She had already been working out for years.
The workouts weren’t the missing piece. Nutrition was.
Everyone thinks weight loss automatically means eat less and move more. And sure, technically a deficit matters. But that does not mean eating as little as possible and running yourself into the ground.
I did not immediately slash her calories and hand her some miserable plan. That’s not how I coach.
First, she completed a full health assessment. Then she logged her food exactly as she normally ate it. No changes. No pretending to eat perfectly because the coach was watching. 😂 I needed an honest baseline.
From there, I looked at the full picture. Her age, height, weight, measurements, activity level, training, steps, sleep and lifestyle.
But it goes beyond that.
I also look at health history, current diagnoses, medications, supplements, available bloodwork, digestion, food intolerances, menstrual cycle, stress, energy, hunger, meal timing and her actual food preferences.
Because all of it matters, and I cannot create a truly individualized plan if I am only looking at a calorie calculator.
We found her maintenance first. Then, and only then, we moved into the smallest deficit needed to make progress.
Because I want my clients eating as much as possible while still getting results. Eating less just for the sake of eating less is not a flex.
Since June, she is down 11.6 pounds. She is lifting heavier. Pants that didn’t fit now fit. Her bathing suit bottoms are getting loose. Most importantly, she is feeling more confident and seeing what she is capable of.
She has been consistent, honest and willing to trust the process, and I could not be more proud of her. 🤍
If you have been doing the workouts but your results still aren’t matching your effort, nutrition may be the piece you’re missing.
DM me “NUTRITION” and let’s talk.
