Also more likely to struggle with fat loss and do have to take a slightly different approach to it. ❤️
1/2 of the people I’ve worked with over the years struggle with ADHD.
You’re more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation affecting eating habits.
More likely to self soothe with food, have trigger foods, and be impulsive with it.
Definitely need more self control ..Just kidding, we know it’s not a will power or self control issue. But maybe, you’re not eating enough during the day. Not enough volume, fiber, protein, carbs, fats, or food you actually like. Or maybe you’re distracted when you eat, checking your phone, netflix’ing away. So you don’t notice you’re full. Or maybe, the feeling of fullness numbs you from acknowledging feelings you don’t want to feel. Eating takes you away from being alone with your thoughts and feelings. Maybe, once in a while food is just so freaking good and even though you’re full at least you’re aware, which is pretty mindful to me and that’s not so bad is it? #hunger #fullness
It must be the dairy like Karen says. Or, maybe your relationship with food is the issue. Not sure? Msg me. I can give you clarity in one sentence.
Struggle with seeing physical results? Digestive issues?
If only high cortisol was the issue.. Although there’s a link between cortisol and stomach fat.. it’s high and low measures of it. Cortisol isn’t the enemy. And won’t disregard energy balance. But stress might be, because you cope in ways that don’t support your health. Like overeating, lack of exercise. Stress makes it harder to behave in healthful ways. But, easier to blame cortisol instead of habits and lifestyle. Especially when you’ve yo yo dieted for years because they haven’t been properly supporting you to lose fat for good. Which, yours truly, gets to teach. While of course, helping you manage stress in more self serving ways. #fatloss #cortisol
and if you’re like my client maybe this is why you’re still not losing fat and what you need to do to fix it ❤️
1200/1300/1400/1500 calories isn’t going to cut it despite what we’re led to believe
You want fat loss, right? When we want fat loss or weight loss, it’s never that in itself we’re craving. Because that’s pretty meaningless. But we feel it’s going to change our life in some kinda way. We’re not just imaging a smaller self, but a different self that comes with. We’re looking for something else to change. More loveable, more attention, more comfort, more acceptance, less comparison, more confidence. When we find ourselves wishing we weighed less, or looked smaller or thinner I’d ask myself what it is that I really want? Because when we know that, we’re focusing on internal motivation. And we’re more likely to actually act on it, work harder on it, we’re more committed, more invested in our strategy and more likely to succeed in the end ❤️ #fatloss #why
Loving reminder.. Although I get it.. life is insane. Not doing “the things” can be the easiest answer. But it’s also the hardest road at the end of the day. Because you’ll be upset with the results you aren’t getting by the work you didn’t do. Self compassion means listening to your body/mind and taking a break just as much as it means listening to your body/mind and actually doing the things that your future self thanks you for 🫶#selfcompassion
Before you eat, “I can’t wait to eat.”Eating, “lettuce and chicken, yay.” After you eat, “I can’t wait to eat again. “Always thinking of food? How to stop it? Eat enough, eat what’s ACTUALLY satisfying. Instead of what you perceive to be. Thank you diet culture for making us believe a lettuce wrap is enough 🥬 Your everyday regular meals should consist of protein, carbs and fats. Enough volume and fibre. Add some veggies 🥗 And what you really do enjoy. Be mindful. And put away your phone when you eat so you’re actually able to pay attention to hunger and fullness instead of whether red flag checked your story in the last 5 minutes 🫶

The biggest reason why you gain weight back.. The real problems or issues with food and exercise aren’t being addressed in a few weeks and you didn’t get the emotional support the first time. As rewarding as it is to see results fast, quick doesn’t stick. Let’s do the work the right way so you don’t have to go through the same cycle every year ❤️#summerbody
The first thing you’re going to do when you aren’t seeing results.. or your digestion is off, or the scale is up.. slash calories🫣 But.. what if you just need to eat more? Not sure what direction to go? Msg me ❤️#fatloss
You don’t need another coach telling you to eat right and exercise.You know how to do that, and that you have to.You need someone to teach you how to do those things throughout life’s ups and down.So you can do those things when it’s hard ❤️
What I still see people get the least of 🫣And maybe it’s why you overeat at night. Because it supports satiety. It helps build muscle and supports fat loss. And aesthetics aside. It helps maintain muscle as we age which is harder to do, and the less muscle we have the more fragile we become. Idk about you but I’m not down with that. Longevity sounds better. Not sure how much you need in relation to your fitness or health goals OR how to get it? Here to support you, my inbox is open and I can answer that in one sentence ❤️#protein #fatloss #longevity
To feel more motivated or to make sure you see the best results.. and for 99% you this does more harm than good ❤️
You don’t need a competition prep plan for fat loss ..
Who would have thought we just need to eat enough and go for a hot girl walk now and then.. not me 🌞 #dieting #ditched
In case you need a reminder. It gets better. Probably not linear but as long as you choose recovery everyday.. it will ❤️ #itgetsbetter
But, always easier to blame hormones over habits or stress eating. Cortisol isn’t your enemy directly, stress might be.
Is cortisol really the issue?
Or maybe you’re like the client I had a few years ago insisting her food tracking was accurate yet wasn’t and went down the hormone/cortisol rabbit hole
Everyone’s relationship with food looks different. And lot of us believe ours looks good because it’s better than the chronic dieting or binge and restrict we had before. I didn’t think I could feel comfortable around food like I do now. Eating without knowing. Intuitive instead of obsessive. And people will say to you well if you don’t trust yourself around food don’t have it in the house, or say no to social events or dates and promote it as healthy.. when maybe it isn’t. It just makes sense to them because it was better than their before. Just because someone is tracking their food, or in competition prep. Doesn’t mean your eating needs to look like that too. Here to help you find what works best for you 🫶But I promise it won’t look like dieting as a lifestyle like mine used to #relationshipwithfood #dieting #lifestyle
Love a good back session like we love to overcomplicate things 👯♀️ #keepitsimple
