Stop using the scale
Stop making the mistake of only relying on the scale.
Because the scale doesn't tell the whole story.
The scale just tells you what your weight is without telling you much else.
You could be losing fat, while your weight stays the same (due to muscle gain, your cycle, you’re backed up, water retention…)
You could be losing fat, but your weight might jump for a few days (due to your cycle, you’re backed up, water retention…)
So if you’re relying on the scale you might set yourself up for feeling frustrated.
Obviously seeing the number on the scale go down can be a motivating factor something you want to see happen.
But you need to stop focusing all your attention on the number on the scale and look at other ways to track your progress too.

Want to make fat loss 10x easier?
Add more protein into your diet.
One of the most common reasons people feel like they’re starving when they go into a calorie deficit - other than the fact that most people aim WAY too low with their calories to begin with -
…is not getting in enough protein.
High protein foods aren’t fat burning (no food is), but they make fat loss easier.
Protein is super filling and satiating.
Which means, getting in more protein in your diet can help you feel fuller longer and minimize hunger.
And if you’re not feeling hangry…
…maintaining your deficit and staying consistent becomes so much easier and more enjoyable.
Plus, getting in enough protein helps you MAINTAIN your muscle mass as you lose fat. 💯
It’s literally a cheat code most people aren’t using.
You want to aim for at least .6g of protein per lb of bodyweight (or you can use your target bodyweight and convert that into grams).
e.g. if you weight 170 lbs, aim for at least 100g protein per day.
Another way, is to aim to get at least one palm size of protein in your meals.

There’s lots of other foods I could add to this list, but hopefully this list helps you out.
