Why your "healthy" diet isn't working
|
I want to share a quick story from a 1:1 client, because I see this pattern constantly. She came to me feeling completely stuck. She was eating clean, working out, and the scale hadn't moved in two months. When I looked at her food log, I saw exactly why. Her previous trainer had told her to cut out carbs at dinner and avoid carrots because of "sugar." So she was eating a salmon patty with no bun, sautéed zucchini, and feeling miserable. She wasn't stuck because she wasn't trying hard enough. She was stuck because she was following bad rules. We added carbs back into her dinner. We increased the volume of her food so she actually felt full. And she dropped a pound this week. If you feel like you're doing everything right and nothing is changing, you might just be unintentionally under-fueling, or restricting foods that are completely fine, which leads to overeating later. Fat loss doesn't require demonizing food. It requires structure. If you're feeling stuck right now, take a look at the rules you're following. Are they actually helping you, or are they just making this harder than it needs to be? |

Person B wakes up on Monday motivated too.By Wednesday, work gets busy. She skips the gym. But instead of...
Reader, I've got some tea for you... Something happened last week that I’m still thinking about. I applied to be a vendor at a local wellness event. Something I was genuinely excited about — the kind of room full of women who are exactly who I built SZN for. I got rejected. The reason? My messaging was “too focused on fat loss.” I sat with that for a minute. Because on one hand, I get it. The wellness industry right now is in this weird moment where fat loss has become almost a dirty phrase —...
hey Reader! My business coach challenged me to talk to 5 women this week for free — so here we are lol 🤪 I had a conversation recently with a client who thought being in a calorie deficit meant cutting the already small amount of carbs she was eating. She was at 1,200 calories a day, going to the gym 6x a week, replacing dinners with a green smoothie, and could not figure out why she was exhausted and the scale wouldn't move. I told her I'd actually start her at 1,800 calories for fat loss...
