Your 4 Step Guide to Fat Loss for Good

Several years ago, I was really struggling with how I felt in my body and my relationship with food. I felt like I had tried it all and nothing seemed to work for me.

Either the weight didn't come off, the plan didn't work for my lifestyle, I felt completely miserable or it was just simply unsustainable. This kept me spinning my wheels and feeling super frustrated and annoyed for about 2 years.

I was a dietitian so, the struggles I was having didn't really make sense to me. I knew there had to be something more, something deeper. And frankly, something easier. I wasn't exactly sure what the answers were at the time but I swore I wouldn't stop until I figured it out.

Fast forward 5 years and I now have a proven signature process for sustainable fat loss. And let me tell you something- this process is a game changer.

No more counting calories, weighing spinach, skipping pizza night or thinking about food 24/7. No more bloating, constant cravings or feeling hangry 97% of the time.

Instead, say yes to making fat loss work FOR YOU and all the good stuff that happens in the process- think more mental energy, more regular energy, feeling satisfied regularly, gaining a sense of food freedom, finally feeling like yourself in your body again and so much more.

If you’re ready to say yes, let's dive in.

Step One: Balance Your Plate to Support Blood Sugar Control

Did you know that fat burning is centered around blood sugar?

This is because your body wants to burn fat in between meals when your blood sugar is balanced.

One of the biggest fat loss mistakes I see is only focusing on calories or HOW MUCH food is being eaten NOT what is being eaten and HOW it affects fat burning. By balancing your plate to support blood sugar, you're actually giving your body an opportunity to burn fat more efficiently.

Which basically means less work for you. It also means less cravings and more energy.

Balancing your plate really comes down to three big things: protein, fiber and fat.

Here’s an example of what that balance looks like:

Step Two: Ditch That All Or Nothing Mindset

Have you ever felt like you were either ON a diet or OFF a diet with

zero in between?

And when I say ON, I mean all in. No "cheating". No"bad foods". No flexibility. Sticking to the plan 100% or bust.

Versus OFF where all the rules go out the window. Ya know the phase where you "blew it" anyways so might as well eat what you want, skip your workouts and simply stop trying?

If this sounds like you, I'm willing to bet you also struggle with gaining and losing the same 10-20 pounds over and over again.

If you want to break that cycle (aka hop off that hamster wheel and onto the runway 🚀), you're going to have to change your mindset. Seems silly but it’s true in 100% of the women I work with on a daily basis.

You have to learn how to balance fat loss with life things. You have to stop beating yourself up for having a piece of cake sometimes.

The crazy thing is when you change your mindset and find that sweet, sweet balance between fat loss and life things, you become consistent.

And ultimately, that's where the results happen.

Step Three: Take Steps to Boost Your Metabolism

Did you know that newer research suggests that metabolism holds steady from ages 20-60 years old?*

So the idea that weight gain may be associated with age or weight loss becomes significantly harder with age may not actually be true.

I don't know about you but I used to believe without a shadow of a doubt that my metabolism was broken and would only get worse with time. It took me a long time to realize that there are things you can do to actually INCREASE your metabolic output.

Increasing metabolic output means that your body can burn fat more efficiently. Which really means: you won't feel like you have to try SO HARD.

First it' s important to mention 2 things that may be HURTING your metabolism: under eating and overexercising. This is something that happens more often than you think without even realizing it.

Now the good part: what you can to do to HELP your metabolism:

• start a strength/resistance exercise routine. This helps to increase your BMR (basil metabolic rate) since you will have more muscle.

• increase daily movement. This will help increase NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis- think all movement outside of intentional, planned workouts.

They both sound fancy but at the end of the day, all you need to know is that they both can help you see results.

Step Four: Think Outside Of The Box

You've been conditioned to believe that fat loss is about one thing and one thing only: calories in being less than calories out.

But, think about it for a second. If that were true, then why would the advice to eat less and exercise more not work for everyone?

Because your body is too complicated for that! Food and exercise are not the only factors at play when it comes to your body 's ability to lose fat. There are other big things to consider.

Specifically, cortisol. Cortisol is commonly referred to as your fight or flight hormone. It's the hormone that gives you the energy you need to run from that bear or lion.

You need cortisol but in excess, cortisol can become a fat storing hormone, which can basically negate your fat loss efforts even if you’re doing everything else "right”.

So what can you do to keep cortisol at an optimal level? Two big things:

ONE: pay attention to stress levels and develop a stress management

strategy

TWO: prioritize AT LEAST 7 hours of quality sleep each night.

This is guide is just the kickstart of everything that’s next for you. If you’re ready to start taking your results seriously and implement personalized strategies with someone right there beside you so you can have more energy, kick cravings to the curb AND gain your confidence back along the way, let’s do it together!
