The old school way of thinking in order to achieve our fat loss & health goals: “I have to ‘want it enough’ to achieve it.”
On one hand, they do have a point, it does take intention PLUS action.
On the other hand, it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of perfection & a totalitarian approach & restriction.
Beliefs like eating nachos or excess calories on a Saturday night equates to failure.
Beliefs like eating a strict meal plan of chicken & broccoli with a kitchen overflowing of Tupperware.
What you need to ask yourself, “Is this sustainable & how do I want to eat the rest of my life that makes me feel AMAZING?!
For me & many of my clients in the past, this restriction & perfection mindset meant come the weekend, we’d binge & purge aisle 5 of all the foods we’d denied ourselves & wash it down with 4-5 cocktails & wake up to self loathing & a week of over exercising later.
Sound familiar?
The longer we go trying to control things, deny flexibility & living LIFE, the less controlled & unfulfilling your life will become.
Here are lessons I’ve learned about balance along my fat loss & healing journey.
How to calorie cycle for fat loss! TAG & SHARE 🎉
⠀
✅Personally, I like to eat (roughly) the same 200-300 range of calories each day.
⠀
✅I have clients who prefer cycling their calories based on when they work out.
⠀
✅I have clients who cycle their calories to accommodate their weekend partying, too. 😉🍻

👉🏻The Bottom Line ✅: success comes down to finding something you can follow consistently. While there’s nothing magical about calorie cycling, it can be an excellent tool for creating a more enjoyable plan 👍
