How do you eat MORE calories & get LEANER?
-
Explained without myths, BS, or fads ā¬‡ļø
-
After a diet, your metabolism isn’t broken, but it has adapted to spending a long-a$$ time in a calorie deficit.
-
In other words, you’re burning fewer calories than you’re supposed to at this new bodyweight.
-
Metabolic adaptation is natural.
-
It’s the body’s way of conserving energy when there isn’t much to go around (because you’re in a deficit).
-
The fix is simple:
-
Go back to maintenance calories for long enough after dieting.
-
That’s why continued to get leaner for three weeks despite eating 300 extra calories ABOVE their deficit.
-
I didn’t ā€œfix their metabolismā€, as some bullshšŸ’Ŗt coaches may claim on social media.
-
But I did start reversing the metabolic adaptation by giving them more calories.
-
So the calories that should have been their maintenance became a bit of a deficit because of the increase in their metabolic rate.
-
The post-diet transition process is slightly different for everyone & it’s CRUCIAL to help you maintain the lean physique you’ve achieved for the long haul,
-
Without unwanted fat regain, but also without dieting yourself into the ground for fear of increasing food.
-

Something I wish everyone knew about motivation & results ā¬‡ļø
-
The days when you can’t see results yet count the most,
-
Because those days come first.
-
Results come second.
-
With one caveat:
-
Your plan needs to be actually effective,
-
otherwise you’re working your a$$ off for no reason.
-
Effective plans are my specialty as a fat loss & muscle gain coach.
-
So message me ā€œCOACHINGā€ and let’s talk about how I can help you.

I coach my clients with compassion because, in my experience, shaming yourself into sticking to your fitness goals is *not* going to work long term.
-
But compassion isn’t always choosing the easy way out.
-
In fact, sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do for yourself is be a bit of a dšŸ’Ŗck and give yourself some tough love.
-
You don’t always train to feel good now, but training now will ALWAYS make your future self feel good.
-
If you struggle with motivation, I have a podcast for you:
-
Fit to Transform Podcast ep. 27: ā€œAn evidence-based approach to staying motivatedā€

Most people don’t think this way about fat loss ā¬‡ļø
-
If you’re craving a big fat burrito like my client A., that’s GOOD.
-
You’re craving it because you’re hungry.
-
You’re hungry because you’re sticking to your calorie deficit.
-
So you ARE losing fat.
-
So don’t resent the hunger.
-
Lean into it. Celebrate it!
-
Unless…
-
Sometimes you want a big fat burrito because nothing you’re doing is working & you’re wondering what the point of it all is.
-
If that’s how you feel, message ā€œCOACHā€.
-
Let’s have a conversation & I’ll tell you exactly why what you’re doing isn’t working.
-
If you’re too shy, then check out episode 1 (the OG episode) of the Fit to Transform Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fit-to-transform/episodes/Retrain-your-mindset-for-long-term-fat-loss-success---The-No-Quit-Kit-Series-Ep--1-e1l4m37

It covers the most common reasons why people hit the fšŸ’Ŗck it button & eat the burrito instead of sticking to their guns.

Metabolic Restoration Phase Week 4 update ā¬‡ļø
-
ā˜‘ļø No muscle loss (I wasn’t worried)
-
ā˜‘ļø No unnecessary fat gain
-
ā˜‘ļø My physique looks a little leaner, which confirms the pound lost on the scale is likely at least in part actual fat loss.
-
Given that I’ve increased calories & lowered activity levels, the fat loss *could* be a sign of an increased metabolic rate (& thus thyroid recovery, which is the main goal).
-
Having said that, the majority of this scale weight loss occurred after a week on a cruise, where both food and activity levels were very different from my norm.
-
So I can’t be fully confident that there has been any real thyroid health improvement just yet.
-
Furthermore, while there have been some positive signs, I haven’t seen any *major* changes in my biofeedback or metabolic rate.
-
But that’s also to be expected.
-
Like I tell my fat loss clients, if it took you 10 years to put on weight, you won’t lose it all in 10 weeks.
-
I spent years overloading my body with excess stress:
-
šŸ‘‰ First an eating disorder, under-eating, over-exercising, & striving to over-achieve in school
-
šŸ‘‰ Then cutting, bulking, getting very lean for photoshoots, & striving to over-achieve in my professional life since 2018
-
Four weeks aren’t going to show night & day results, but they WILL contribute to the ultimate outcome.
-
Every single day counts, even when you can’t see it yet.
-
For now, I’m content to have eased into doing less successfully.
-
Apart from one week when my steps skyrocketed because I went to Italy for the weekend & didn’t expect to walk as much as I did over those two days, I’ve been sticking to my guns:
-
šŸ‘‰ Less training, fewer steps; more food, rest, & recovery.
-
The plan is to continue nudging caloric intake up when biofeedback suggests it’s appropriate.
-
This is likely to occur on a less frequent & less aggressive basis than in Weeks 1-4 because I’m almost bang-on at maintenance & no longer trying to reverse out of a deficit.
-
New round of blood tests in a couple of weeks, around six weeks since the last check-up.
-
Any questions, let me know ā¬‡ļø

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

If you want to make a lifestyle change for the better, build a badass relationship with yourself, food, and training, and sculpt an awesome physique as a side effect, I’d love to hear from you.

Here is what my clients say about me:

ā€œWorking with Nikias as my personal trainer and nutrition advisor, I’ve found myself achieving and enjoying exercises I never dreamed of attempting on my own. One workout and meal at a time, he’s guiding me toward the day I can call myself not only a truly healthy individual but also, in my own way, an athlete.ā€ (Kahina Necaise, personal training & nutrition client)
