YO YO DIETING ALERT 🚨

1200 cals, the magic number some people think is what they need to eat to lose weight 🤯

Ever tried this? You will know it’s very hard to do, unless you have well planned thought out meals! Even if you do, it’s immensely unsustainable for any amount of time 🤦🏼‍♀️ Why? Because it amounts to hardly any food 🤣🤣🤣 Here begins the YO YO dieting!!!

If you then consume something high calorie, you are screwed for the rest of the day, and likely to overeat. Here comes the feeling of guilt and failure 😨

Although calorie tracking is the most accurate way to ensure you lose weight (by being in a deficit) it only works if you understand how to execute it.

Here’s some tips I give to my clients

Have protein in every meal
Why? Keeps you full and preserves muscle mass, No skinny fat 👍🏻

Input meals ahead so you know you are hitting daily numbers. Why? Gives satisfaction and also the freedom to know if you do fancy something unplanned, all good if the calories available 👍🏻

Think 80/20. 80% of cals from quality food sources (proteins, carbs good fats fruits veg) 20% of cals to use on your favourite foods Why? Freedom to eat the things we love means we never have to diet and cut them out again….. imagine that 😲

Use a holistic approach. Look at your calories as a whole over the week. If you haven’t eaten all your cals in one day, save them, more to use on a day you are more hungry. Likewise, if you go over one day, eat less on another day

It seems like a faff but it’s really not. When used correctly, calorie tracking WILL ALWAYS get you results 🤩

Losing weight will require some sacrifice, you have to be prepared for that but it’s not all or nothing!

You learn so much about foods, portions, eating habits and can even enjoy the journey.

So if you are trying to lose weight or struggling eating 1200 cals a day, use a macronutrient calculator to work out the calories YOU require for fat loss, follow these tips and track your progress.

Most importantly ditch the yo-yo dieting for good 👍🏻

Just to let you know I’m still here 🙋🏼‍♀️

A new client who recently started training with me thought I had retired 😂😂😂 Thankfully she messaged me to check and now we’re getting some great results together 💪🏻

I’m just rubbish at prioritising time for social media posting (I actually don’t like social media that much 🙈)

But… it’s an amazing platform for sharing what you love and what you do 👊🏻

So here begins my mission to prioritise more time sharing my passion with you….

Coaching women on fat loss, strength, health, nutrition, building good habits and feeling good in their skin again 🙌🏻

Easy when you know how 😉
