  1. 0:00I'm 39 and I've lost over a 100 pounds.
  2. 0:02I'm [music] making this video because a
  3. 0:03lot of women in their 30s and 40s feel
  4. 0:05like their health and fitness is out of
  5. 0:07[music] control. And I don't want you to
  6. 0:09be one of them. I have five rules that I
  7. 0:11follow that help me a lot going into my
  8. 0:13late 30s and as I enter my 40s. [music]
  9. 0:15And maybe they'll help you as much as
  10. 0:17they've helped me. Rule number one,
  11. 0:19health and fitness isn't a switch. It's
  12. 0:21more like a dial. There's no on track or
  13. 0:24off track or on the wagon or off the
  14. 0:26wagon. There's no box. If you switch the
  15. 0:29perspective of either I'm on track or
  16. 0:31I'm off track, that gives you more space
  17. 0:34to be able to make progress even when
  18. 0:37life is lifing. But if you're in the
  19. 0:39thought process of you're on or off,
  20. 0:41like a light switch, then you spend a
  21. 0:44lot of time in off and you can justify
  22. 0:46all the reasons why you'll start
  23. 0:48tomorrow. all these things that lead you
  24. 0:50to not make any actual progress when at
  25. 0:52some points you could be doing a minimal
  26. 0:55effective dose and not trying to be
  27. 0:57perfect and still be making progress. I
  28. 0:59like to call it a continual cycle of
  29. 1:02refinement. There's going to be seasons
  30. 1:03in your life where you're focused on
  31. 1:04other things and there's going to be
  32. 1:06seasons in your life where you have the
  33. 1:07capacity and the bandwidth to focus on
  34. 1:09making progress in your health and
  35. 1:11fitness or weight loss, whatever you
  36. 1:12want to call it. If you take me for
  37. 1:14example, if you watched my social media
  38. 1:16a year and a half ago or so, there was a
  39. 1:19phase where I was doing no alcohol, no
  40. 1:20ice cream, no protein bars, and no
  41. 1:22energy drinks, which is clearly not this
  42. 1:24phase. And for the first little bit,
  43. 1:25that was progress for me because I made
  44. 1:28changes in eliminating extra calories in
  45. 1:30alcohol and the protein bars that I was
  46. 1:32eating and ice cream. And so I made some
  47. 1:35progress right away, but I didn't
  48. 1:36continue to make changes. And so my
  49. 1:39progress kind of stalled out. So, at
  50. 1:41first I would say my consistency in what
  51. 1:43I needed to be doing to make progress at
  52. 1:44that point was closer to a level 10, but
  53. 1:47you're not always going to be at a 10 on
  54. 1:49a scale of 1 to 10. Sometimes you might
  55. 1:51only be at a five, and that's okay. That
  56. 1:54can still be making progress from where
  57. 1:56you were. But it's when you have the all
  58. 1:57or nothing. It's a light switch. We're
  59. 1:59on or we're off. You're on the wagon or
  60. 2:01you're off the wagon. On track or off
  61. 2:03track. when you're off track, you let
  62. 2:05yourself sit at a zero instead of maybe
  63. 2:07a three where you could be making some
  64. 2:09progress in some areas. So, going back
  65. 2:11to my no alcohol, no ice cream, no
  66. 2:12protein bars, no energy drinks, and then
  67. 2:15kind of plateauing there, I recommitted
  68. 2:18to new goals and I changed my level of
  69. 2:21commitment required to hit those goals
  70. 2:23when I started making progress again.
  71. 2:24And so instead of getting frustrated
  72. 2:26with yourself that you're not making
  73. 2:28progress and giving yourself the I'm off
  74. 2:30the wagon talk and sitting at zero,
  75. 2:32there's a few things that you could have
  76. 2:34a baseline of that's a minimal effective
  77. 2:36dose to still feel good and be making
  78. 2:39progress or at least maintaining where
  79. 2:41you're at. Some minimal effective dose
  80. 2:43strategies that I have are things like
  81. 2:45my steps and my movement. So at least
  82. 2:48three workouts a week and hitting on
  83. 2:51average 70,000 steps for the week. I do
  84. 2:5470,000 for the week because some days
  85. 2:56life be lifen and I can't get 10,000 in
  86. 2:59the day but other days I have more
  87. 3:01capacity and I could get 15,000. So I
  88. 3:03like to look at it as the average for
  89. 3:05the week. Things like my nutrition. I
  90. 3:07might not always weigh and track
  91. 3:09everything that I'm eating, but I at
  92. 3:12least prioritize my protein. And through
  93. 3:1415 to 20 years of weighing and tracking
  94. 3:18food, I've gotten pretty good at
  95. 3:19eyeballing it and I know what protein
  96. 3:21sources are. So for me, just
  97. 3:23prioritizing protein is a great minimal
  98. 3:25effective dose. For you, it might be
  99. 3:28weighing and measuring your protein so
  100. 3:30you know how many grams of protein
  101. 3:31you're getting in a day. One more
  102. 3:33minimal effective dose thing that I do
  103. 3:35is prioritize my sleep because I know
  104. 3:37what I turn into when I only get 3 hours
  105. 3:39of sleep. I've been there. It might be
  106. 3:41productive for a season while you're
  107. 3:43pushing at something, but it's not
  108. 3:45productive long term. Not for me
  109. 3:46anyways. So, I know if I'm getting five
  110. 3:49and a half to six and a half hours of
  111. 3:51sleep, that's where I feel my best. And
  112. 3:53so, I prioritize that so that I'm not a
  113. 3:56monster. And if I'm tired, it leads to
  114. 3:58me making other poor decisions
  115. 3:59throughout the day as well. Things like
  116. 4:02eating ice cream because my body's like,
  117. 4:04"Yo, you're tired. You either need sleep
  118. 4:06or an energy form." And we like our
  119. 4:09energy form and ice cream when we're
  120. 4:11tired. So if you look at your health and
  121. 4:12fitness as a continual cycle of
  122. 4:15refinement, as a dial that you can
  123. 4:17adjust and play with some different
  124. 4:18minimal effective dose or your
  125. 4:20bandwidth, however you want to look at
  126. 4:22it, look at a way that serves you
  127. 4:24instead of the all or nothing on or off
  128. 4:26concept cuz that's not doing you any
  129. 4:28favors. Rule number two, Pilates, yoga,
  130. 4:31cardio, orange theory, and every other
  131. 4:34workout isn't going to get you a tenth
  132. 4:37of the result that resistance training
  133. 4:39will. Story time. I've always been
  134. 4:41athletic and I grew up on a farm, so
  135. 4:43I've got farm girl strength. But it
  136. 4:45wasn't really until I started doing
  137. 4:47resistance training, when I started
  138. 4:49competing in strongman, that I actually
  139. 4:52started to build like a muscular
  140. 4:55physique. Prior to that, like when I was
  141. 4:57getting married, my weight loss method
  142. 5:00of choice was actually a muscle loss
  143. 5:02method because I would eat super minimal
  144. 5:05calories and then I would run. Yeah, I
  145. 5:09said it. Run. I would go run on my lunch
  146. 5:11break at school. I was taking dental
  147. 5:13assisting at the time. And so on my
  148. 5:15lunch break, I would go run on the
  149. 5:16treadmill and I would only have like a
  150. 5:18piece of toast for breakfast because
  151. 5:20that's healthy, right? Maybe some peanut
  152. 5:22butter on there. And then I would have a
  153. 5:24shake for lunch. I'd have like some
  154. 5:25goldfish crackers as a snack in the
  155. 5:27afternoon during class when I was almost
  156. 5:29falling asleep because I didn't have any
  157. 5:31energy left. And then I would go home
  158. 5:33and eat like a chicken breast and
  159. 5:35carrots for dinner. Nothing about that
  160. 5:37was healthy. I lost weight. Sure. I
  161. 5:39probably also lost muscle. And then I
  162. 5:41did keto in there, too. So, the extreme
  163. 5:44calorie deficit and copious amounts of
  164. 5:46cardio lost weight for me. But there's a
  165. 5:50difference between weight loss and fat
  166. 5:52loss. And that was definitely weight
  167. 5:54loss. Some fat loss, yes. But I also
  168. 5:57lost likely I don't have the data
  169. 5:59because I didn't have a DEXA scan, but I
  170. 6:01lost a lot of my muscle mass. Then I
  171. 6:03started competing in strongman and
  172. 6:04actually doing a resistance training
  173. 6:06program. uh that was based in
  174. 6:08progressive overload and strength and I
  175. 6:11started gaining strength. And then more
  176. 6:12recently when I competed in my
  177. 6:14bodybuilding competition, I prioritized
  178. 6:16my protein intake by actually weighing
  179. 6:18and logging what I was eating and
  180. 6:20knowing how many grams of protein I was
  181. 6:22getting in a day and how many calories
  182. 6:23overall. And I did resistance training
  183. 6:26and I did no running cardio. I did
  184. 6:3010,000 steps a day. Sometimes a little
  185. 6:32bit more up to 15,000 and sometimes just
  186. 6:35by accident 20,000 because I was living
  187. 6:38in Mexico and walking. My point being
  188. 6:40throughout my prep because I prioritize
  189. 6:42protein and resistance training, I had a
  190. 6:44DEXA scan done. How many fingers do I
  191. 6:46have? I had a DEXA scan done before I
  192. 6:48started prep and after I started prep.
  193. 6:49And if you don't know what a DEXA scan
  194. 6:51is, it's a body composition scan and
  195. 6:53look it up in the details and the
  196. 6:55accuracy. But that told me that I gained
  197. 6:58like 3 g of muscle mass throughout my
  198. 7:02cut for my bodybuilding show. So,
  199. 7:04because I ate enough protein and I
  200. 7:06prioritized resistance training and I
  201. 7:08didn't do any crazy cardio, I was able
  202. 7:10to maintain my muscle mass as a
  203. 7:1238-year-old woman while in a calorie
  204. 7:14deficit. I think those results pretty
  205. 7:16much speak for themselves. So, you might
  206. 7:18be like,
  207. 7:19>> "Yeah, well, what about me? Because I
  208. 7:20don't have the muscle mass right now
  209. 7:21that you had." Well, if you focus on
  210. 7:24progressive overload, and what I mean by
  211. 7:27that is progressively moving more weight
  212. 7:30over time. So, you're not going to go
  213. 7:32from a 50 lb deadlift to 150 lb deadlift
  214. 7:36tomorrow. That's not what I mean. I mean
  215. 7:38over time, you're either going to do
  216. 7:39more reps with the same amount of weight
  217. 7:43or you're going to increase the weight.
  218. 7:45So, if you want me to do the math for
  219. 7:47you, let's say you're doing a squat with
  220. 7:4850 lb and you're doing 10 of them. So
  221. 7:51that's 500 lb total. And so if you did
  222. 7:54in X amount of time, you did 100 pound
  223. 7:58squats for five reps, that would be the
  224. 8:01same amount of total volume of weight,
  225. 8:03500 lb. So if you did 100 lb for six
  226. 8:07reps, now you've done progressive
  227. 8:09overload. You're moving 600 lb in that
  228. 8:12squat rep range. Now that's a big gain,
  229. 8:14and you don't necessarily have to
  230. 8:16progress that much. And other muscle
  231. 8:17groups won't progress as much. something
  232. 8:19like your shoulders uh move a lot less
  233. 8:23weight. I'm pretty much still stuck at
  234. 8:2515 lb lateral raises. I would like to do
  235. 8:2720 25, but your shoulders are just a
  236. 8:30smaller muscle group. Your legs are a
  237. 8:33large muscle group. They can move a lot
  238. 8:35more weight than something like your
  239. 8:36shoulders. So, when you're trying to
  240. 8:37progress in something, even a bicep
  241. 8:39curl, you're not going to make huge
  242. 8:41gains like you will using your lower
  243. 8:43body muscle. So, where do you start with
  244. 8:44strength training? Well, right where you
  245. 8:46are. If you're currently doing nothing,
  246. 8:47something is better than nothing. So,
  247. 8:49even if you go to the gym two days a
  248. 8:51week, great. If you're currently going
  249. 8:53two days a week, go three. If you're
  250. 8:55going three and you don't have time for
  251. 8:56more, push yourself a little bit more.
  252. 8:58Increase your weights. Progressive
  253. 8:59overload right there. There's multiple
  254. 9:01ways that you can do it. The thing is,
  255. 9:02you just have to do it and not confuse
  256. 9:05yourself about what to do and then not
  257. 9:06do anything because of overanalysis
  258. 9:08paralysis. Just go do something and then
  259. 9:11do more of it. Rule number three, just
  260. 9:13because something has protein doesn't
  261. 9:16make it a good protein source. Just
  262. 9:18because it says protein, it's not like
  263. 9:19protein equals weight loss. You still
  264. 9:21have to be smart about it and you still
  265. 9:23have to be in a calorie deficit. And
  266. 9:24what I mean by that, here's an example.
  267. 9:26This morning I was running out of the
  268. 9:28house for an appointment that I had and
  269. 9:30I grabbed some meal prep out of the
  270. 9:32fridge that Coach D had made. And so I
  271. 9:35was eating this meal that I had planned
  272. 9:37that had an adequate amount of protein
  273. 9:38for what I needed in that meal. I
  274. 9:40stopped at a gas station to get gas in
  275. 9:42the truck. Side note, I'll get gas in
  276. 9:44the morning is like the worst decision
  277. 9:46that you can make. Just do it now. So, I
  278. 9:49go into the gas station and I grab a
  279. 9:50protein shake because I was like, I
  280. 9:52don't have any more food right now
  281. 9:55planned for the day. Got to come and
  282. 9:57film. Uh, I'm going to bring this
  283. 9:58protein shake, you know, in case. So,
  284. 10:01that's like in a good, better, best
  285. 10:02option. Uh, it would maybe be better
  286. 10:05than something else, but not the best,
  287. 10:07right? I started thinking I should just
  288. 10:09drink this now. It's got 42 grams of
  289. 10:11protein. Why would I drink this now? I
  290. 10:12just had a meal that had protein in it.
  291. 10:14But in my head, even for a second, I was
  292. 10:16like, "Oh, more protein. Good." But that
  293. 10:18would have put me over what I need in
  294. 10:20that moment for the for the meal for the
  295. 10:22protein. And also drinking your
  296. 10:25calories. Sometimes you don't even feel
  297. 10:27full. Later on, you forget that you even
  298. 10:29drank it. And then you end up overeating
  299. 10:31because how many of you are like, "Well,
  300. 10:33I feel like I'm not eating that much."
  301. 10:35But if you actually logged everything
  302. 10:38that you eat and drink, you're not in a
  303. 10:40calorie deficit and that's why you're
  304. 10:41not making progress. So even if it says
  305. 10:43protein, that doesn't mean that you need
  306. 10:45to drink it right now. And it doesn't
  307. 10:47mean protein equals weight loss. It also
  308. 10:49like doesn't mean it's a good source of
  309. 10:51protein. So for example, a way to tell
  310. 10:55if something is a good source of protein
  311. 10:57is if you take the amount of protein in
  312. 11:00it and you times that by 10. If that
  313. 11:03number is higher than the total calories
  314. 11:07per serving, then it's a good source of
  315. 11:08protein. If it's not, it's not a good
  316. 11:10source of protein. So, if you're at
  317. 11:12Costco and you're looking at all the
  318. 11:14protein bars, protein bars that most of
  319. 11:17them should be actually called carb
  320. 11:19bars, but then you wouldn't buy them. If
  321. 11:20you're looking at the protein bars and
  322. 11:22you flip over the package to the
  323. 11:23nutritional information and you're like,
  324. 11:25"Okay, this one has 150 calories in it
  325. 11:29and it has 17 g of protein." So 17 * 10
  326. 11:33is 170 the last time I checked and 170
  327. 11:37is more than 150. So that would make it
  328. 11:39a good source of protein. But if you
  329. 11:41look at something like cheese for
  330. 11:43example or even like quinoa that's
  331. 11:46another oneami edamami edamami peanuts
  332. 11:49things like that if you take the protein
  333. 11:51in them per serving and you times it by
  334. 11:5310 it is not going to be more than the
  335. 11:55calories. Most of those items are higher
  336. 11:58in fat and fat is very calorically
  337. 12:00dense. So most of the calories in those
  338. 12:03things are going to be coming from the
  339. 12:05fat and not the protein, which makes it
  340. 12:06a fat source, not a protein source. And
  341. 12:08then sometimes things like protein bars
  342. 12:11are actually just candy bars dressed up
  343. 12:13in a tracksuit with better marketing to
  344. 12:16make you want to buy them. And in some
  345. 12:18cases, you might be better off just
  346. 12:20eating the chocolate bar. You might be
  347. 12:22more fulfilled and satisfied than if you
  348. 12:25eat something that you don't really
  349. 12:26enjoy. and then you might end up just
  350. 12:29eating a chocolate bar later after you
  351. 12:31ate the thing that you didn't really
  352. 12:32enjoy. So sometimes you're just better
  353. 12:34off to eat the chocolate bar and
  354. 12:36prioritize your protein and your
  355. 12:37vegetables and all the other things the
  356. 12:39rest of the day and just don't eat the
  357. 12:41chocolate bar every day. Rule number
  358. 12:43four, you don't move less because you
  359. 12:45get old. You get old because you move
  360. 12:48less. The number of clients that we have
  361. 12:50that used to be athletes or dancers or
  362. 12:55whatever they identify as what they used
  363. 12:57to be is very large. And now they're
  364. 13:00middle-aged, overweight women who are
  365. 13:03not happy with where they're at. And
  366. 13:05they often feel like they got here
  367. 13:06overnight almost or like it's their
  368. 13:08hormones or their metabolism or because
  369. 13:11they when the clock struck midnight when
  370. 13:14they turned 40 or 35 or menopause or all
  371. 13:18of the things. And while in some cases,
  372. 13:20yes, this could be very well part of the
  373. 13:23combination of unfortunate events. The
  374. 13:25other part of the combination of
  375. 13:28unfortunate events is the way that we've
  376. 13:29been treating our bodies over time. And
  377. 13:32if you think about it like compounding
  378. 13:34interest, I don't know exactly how this
  379. 13:35goes, but basically if you took a penny
  380. 13:38and you doubled it every day over the
  381. 13:40course of a month, you'd have over a
  382. 13:41million. That's compounding interest.
  383. 13:43The day before you got to a million, you
  384. 13:45were only at $500,000. And so 2 days
  385. 13:48before you got to a million, you were
  386. 13:50only at $250,000. And 3 days before you
  387. 13:52got to a million, you were only at
  388. 13:55125,000. And 4 days, 75,000. And 75,000
  389. 13:59is a lot different than 1 million, but
  390. 14:01it's also only like 5 days. That's
  391. 14:04compounding interest. And so the way
  392. 14:06that we treat our bodies over time,
  393. 14:08compounds, and then we wake up one day
  394. 14:10and we're like, "Holy how did I
  395. 14:12get here?" And it feels like it happened
  396. 14:14overnight, but it didn't. It happened
  397. 14:15every time you did less than you used to
  398. 14:17do. Think about it. You probably used to
  399. 14:20play sports. When's the last time that
  400. 14:21you ran or like jogged or had a little
  401. 14:25sprint? For me, I used to play soccer
  402. 14:27and so I was often sprinting and chasing
  403. 14:29a soccer ball. And as I took that
  404. 14:31activity out of my life, I started
  405. 14:33slowing down and getting bigger if I
  406. 14:35don't do other things that are going to
  407. 14:37help with that. When we're in our 20s,
  408. 14:39we eat whatever we want and think that
  409. 14:40it's not affecting us in the moment.
  410. 14:42There's no immediate consequence. It's
  411. 14:44not affecting us right then, but it's
  412. 14:46affecting us in compounding interest
  413. 14:48when we turn 40. Because over time,
  414. 14:51you've been eating in a caloric surplus.
  415. 14:54You've been not giving your body the
  416. 14:55nutrients that it needs. You've been
  417. 14:57compromising your mobility. You've been
  418. 14:59slowing down. And all of that adds up.
  419. 15:02And then you hit 40 and you can't even
  420. 15:04touch your toes anymore. I don't want
  421. 15:06that to be you. Or I don't want that to
  422. 15:07be you anymore. There's so many clients
  423. 15:09that we worked with, too, that their
  424. 15:10their doctor or someone in their life
  425. 15:12told them, "Oh, your knee hurts. Well,
  426. 15:14then just don't squat anymore." Okay,
  427. 15:15cool. How's that going to go the next
  428. 15:18time you need to sit on the toilet? Not
  429. 15:19very well. Your knees hurt? Don't lunge.
  430. 15:21How's that going to work the next time
  431. 15:22you need to go up a flight of stairs?
  432. 15:24How about we work at why you can't and
  433. 15:27strengthening the muscles and whatnot
  434. 15:29around the joint so that you can squat,
  435. 15:32so you can play with your grandkids, so
  436. 15:34that you can get down on the floor and
  437. 15:36get up again and not have to contemplate
  438. 15:39if you get down there, how will you get
  439. 15:41up again? And a lot of times our life
  440. 15:43circumstances change. Like as women, we
  441. 15:46often get married and prioritize someone
  442. 15:49else. We have kids and we get busy. We
  443. 15:52have jobs and we prioritize that and we
  444. 15:55move less than we used to and we eat
  445. 15:58more than we used to and we don't give
  446. 16:00our body the nutrients that it needs to
  447. 16:02be successful and so over time it
  448. 16:05revolts. If you listen, your body gives
  449. 16:07you signs, right? Like feeling bloated,
  450. 16:10feeling tired, like all of these
  451. 16:13indigestion, all of this stuff. It's
  452. 16:15giving us signs that we're not taking
  453. 16:17care of it, but we don't listen and we
  454. 16:19keep going and we redline it and then
  455. 16:21all of a sudden you get a slap
  456. 16:23because you weren't listening to the
  457. 16:24whispers. So, I would like you, if you
  458. 16:27haven't gotten a slap yet, to
  459. 16:29listen to the whispers and start to
  460. 16:30prioritize what you need before the
  461. 16:33slap comes in. So often it's not
  462. 16:36your hormones, it's not your metabolism,
  463. 16:39it's not your menopause, pmenopause,
  464. 16:41premenopause, postmenopause. It's often
  465. 16:44what we do to our body and how we've
  466. 16:46treated it. And it's a blessing and a
  467. 16:49curse because if you're the problem,
  468. 16:50you're also the solution. And it's going
  469. 16:52to take time. You didn't get here
  470. 16:54overnight. You're not going to get out
  471. 16:56of it overnight. And that's okay. As
  472. 16:58long as you focus on rule number one and
  473. 17:00making progress and not being on or off,
  474. 17:04you'll be good. You can help yourself
  475. 17:06and make progress. Just don't get
  476. 17:08discouraged thinking that it's supposed
  477. 17:10to show up overnight and then it doesn't
  478. 17:11show up overnight and you throw in the
  479. 17:14towel on yourself. Rule number five, I
  480. 17:16want you to run a weight loss challenge
  481. 17:18with yourself and maybe anyone else in
  482. 17:20the comments section or perhaps you
  483. 17:21could join our school community and
  484. 17:23participate there. I've got a challenge
  485. 17:25going to the end of the year. But for
  486. 17:26real, if you're watching this, I want
  487. 17:28you to at least do this. It's easy to
  488. 17:31watch these videos to watch me to fall
  489. 17:33in love with me. I mean to get
  490. 17:34motivated, feel good in the moment, but
  491. 17:37then never actually do anything with it.
  492. 17:39You maybe even save the video or like
  493. 17:41clip a certain part of it, but then you
  494. 17:43never watch it again, right? Just like
  495. 17:45all of the Pinterest quotes on your
  496. 17:48Pinterest board or the workouts that you
  497. 17:50saved and had a binder of them in, you
  498. 17:52know, printed out in the binder and you
  499. 17:54never actually do them. But it sure
  500. 17:56feels good to print it out and put it in
  501. 17:58there. Sure feels good to save that
  502. 18:00quote to your camera roll. Sure feels
  503. 18:01good to watch this video. But I want you
  504. 18:04to do more than feel good in the moment.
  505. 18:05I want you to feel good for the rest of
  506. 18:07your life. And so I want to challenge
  507. 18:09you. Yes, you, the person watching this,
  508. 18:11to do a two week, 14-day weight loss
  509. 18:15challenge. I don't really like the word
  510. 18:16challenge, so prioritize you for two
  511. 18:19weeks in the following ways. The rules
  512. 18:22of the 2 week weight loss test. I want
  513. 18:25you to track your weight every day. You
  514. 18:26don't even have to look at it if you
  515. 18:28don't want to. You could use a Bluetooth
  516. 18:30scale like I use and just hop on there
  517. 18:32and then it'll upload to your phone. You
  518. 18:34can put some duct tape over the number.
  519. 18:36You don't have to look at it. I want you
  520. 18:37to do this because we want to look at
  521. 18:40the average over time and the day-to-day
  522. 18:42fluctuations and normalize that and not
  523. 18:44be emotionally attached to it. So, if
  524. 18:46you need to wait till the end of the two
  525. 18:48weeks to see this, that's okay. But
  526. 18:50don't get emotionally attached to the
  527. 18:51day-to-day fluctuations. For me, I
  528. 18:53weighed 173, I think, as of this
  529. 18:55morning. But yesterday morning I weighed
  530. 18:57169. Four lbs of fat gained overnight.
  531. 19:00No, I traveled yesterday so I was
  532. 19:02inflamed. Um, still have period stuff
  533. 19:05happening and I didn't eat amazing. Um,
  534. 19:08so there's probably some inflammation in
  535. 19:09my body from that too while I was
  536. 19:11traveling. And I didn't get as many
  537. 19:12steps as I normally do. I didn't drink
  538. 19:14as much water. So there you have it.
  539. 19:16It's not 4 lbs of fat. I would had to
  540. 19:18eat 16,000 some big number of calories
  541. 19:20and I didn't eat that many calories
  542. 19:21yesterday. Okay. So number one, track
  543. 19:23your weight daily. Number two, I want
  544. 19:25you to track weighing if you can.
  545. 19:28Everything that goes in your mouth hole,
  546. 19:31in your pie hole, in your cake hole,
  547. 19:32whatever, your ice cream hole. Track
  548. 19:34everything that you eat and drink.
  549. 19:36That's the bites, the licks, the tastes,
  550. 19:39everything. And if you have to track it,
  551. 19:42sometimes you won't even do it because
  552. 19:44you're like, I don't know how to track
  553. 19:45this. Or if you feel guilty about having
  554. 19:48to track it, then you probably shouldn't
  555. 19:49be eating it for your body's health. And
  556. 19:52so number two, track everything. If you
  557. 19:55can weigh it in grams and track it in My
  558. 19:57Fitness Pal, I'd love that for you. The
  559. 19:59third rule, eat in a 500 calorie
  560. 20:01deficit. If you don't know your calorie
  561. 20:03deficit, we have a free calorie
  562. 20:04calculator on our website and the link
  563. 20:06is probably down here somewhere in the
  564. 20:09description. So feel free to give that a
  565. 20:11try and then that will tell you your
  566. 20:13BMR. And then it'll also give you a
  567. 20:15calorie deficit. BMR being your basil
  568. 20:17metabolic rate or how many calories your
  569. 20:20body needs just to stay as it is. Keep
  570. 20:23the lights on depending on your activity
  571. 20:25level, some other factors. Uh it'll
  572. 20:27calculate your calorie deficit from
  573. 20:29there for you. Fourth thing that you're
  574. 20:30going to do, you're going to eat 100 g
  575. 20:33of protein on the daily. That doesn't
  576. 20:34mean you eat like 100 g of chicken
  577. 20:36because 100 g of chicken doesn't contain
  578. 20:38100 g of protein. It is a protein
  579. 20:40source, but it doesn't contain 100 g of
  580. 20:43protein. It's not pure protein. So, this
  581. 20:46is why you need to weigh and then track
  582. 20:48in My Fitness Pal everything that you're
  583. 20:49eating and then hit at least 100 grams
  584. 20:52of protein every day. Number five, I
  585. 20:54want you to hit 8 to 10,000 steps per
  586. 20:57day, every day for the 2 weeks. If
  587. 21:00you're nowhere near there, I understand.
  588. 21:02just increase it by like 20%. And that
  589. 21:04is going to increase your output 20%
  590. 21:08more, which is going to help you to
  591. 21:10create a bit more of a calorie deficit
  592. 21:12without having to decrease your food
  593. 21:15intake because be hangry.
  594. 21:17Sometimes the easier lever to pull in
  595. 21:20fat loss is the output versus reducing
  596. 21:22the input. And you don't even need to
  597. 21:24work out. If you are, great, but I don't
  598. 21:26need you to do any workouts. you can
  599. 21:28lose fat and feel better and have more
  600. 21:31energy just by changing these things
  601. 21:34that I mentioned and not even including
  602. 21:36workouts. So, after the two weeks is up,
  603. 21:38I want you to see what your weight was
  604. 21:40at, what it's at now, the changes that
  605. 21:43you made. And I guarantee you, you will
  606. 21:46see progress likely on the scale. And if
  607. 21:48not on the scale, your energy levels,
  608. 21:51your day-to-day like not being a mean
  609. 21:53person, I'll say, and you're going to
  610. 21:57feel better by taking the two weeks to
  611. 21:59prioritize yourself and your health. And
  612. 22:02if you can focus on eating more lean
  613. 22:04meats, fruits and veg, less processed
  614. 22:07stuff, and less like protein items,
  615. 22:10you're going to feel night and day
  616. 22:12different. And then what I want you to
  617. 22:14do is comment below with your results.
  618. 22:18Or if you really want a party, you can
  619. 22:20message me on Instagram and tell me all
  620. 22:21about it and I will celebrate with you.
  621. 22:24So, if you're in for the test, let me
  622. 22:26know in the comments and then watch this
  623. 22:28video on how to lose weight without
