👉🏻WHAT I DID TO GET HERE:
✔️Being in a calorie deficit (this is mandatory for weight loss to even happen)
✔️Tracking my intake (to make sure I am being consistent with my calories every day)
✔️Making meals that I actually wanted to eat for myself so I wouldn’t dread my diet and fall off (including: tacos, protein pancakes, yogurt parfait, ice cream, chipotle…..yes you can do this with flexible dieting)
✔️Lift HEAVY weights and push myself (you will NOT look manly, as you can see lol)
✔️Do cardio as an ADDITION to my routine (this was not my MAIN focus, but I did add it in to further the calorie deficit)
👉🏻WHAT I DID **NOT** DO:
✖️Cut out bread / carbs / sugar / sodium / chocolate etc
✖️Start eating differently than I was before dieting (my food choices stay the SAME if I am dieting or not)
✖️Only eat at certain times
✖️Do keto / paleo / south beach / whole30 / any other diet that tells you to restrict certain foods because those are extremely unsustainable for the long term (my personal opinion of course)
✖️Detox / take any fat burners / any “extreme” supps
✖️Isolate myself from my friends / family
✖️Be miserable / have intense cravings from restriction
PLEASE do not restrict yourself of your favorite foods, it is not necessary in order for you to get results - it will actually PREVENT you from getting results and keeping the weight off long term.
