Friends, the messy middle is applicable to so much in life, but especially to the weight loss journey. I feel, it is where most people quit in life, and not just at weight loss.

The messy middle is not the easiest part of the journey but the most important one. It’s the part that teaches us consistency and commitment over motivation. If we let it… It’s also the part where you learn to keep the promisses you made to yourself!

The messy middle can mess with our head, and if we don’t learn to win this phase, we’re gonna end up in the exact same vicious cycle of defeat.

So, if you let the messy middle win for a moment, flip it. Get back in the game. Stay in the game. You’re not doing it alone. We stay with you. All the way!💗

Yes, we share the ‘messy middle’ too, the ‘in between phase’ (see below). Because it can be challenging, but it’s beautiful and more likely the most important part of the journey. And Tiffany is embracing it beautifully, we are so proud! Tiffany’s transformation is in progress. But we take great pride in averaging 20 lbs loss so far.
😳I love the analogy Tiffany used at her appointment today “I imagine how many bars of butter goes in 20 lbs. That’s how much I lost so far!”💥

Tiffany, looking forward to more updates in the near future. There is no going back now! Keep inspiring!

In case anyone struggles with the ‘in between’ phase… The messy middle is that phase where the excitement of starting something new wears off and the end goal may still feel far away. It’s that phase where the motivation may end and you realize the hard work truly begins. It’s that phase where you learn the importance of consistency and commitment over motivation. Because motivation is based on emotions. And emotions are never the same in life.💗

🚨READ this one carefully! It may explain why you are STUCK at weight loss in spite of being in calorie deficit and eating “healthy”.

Then, when the diet culture police messes with your head, constantly telling you ‘eliminating’ is wrong… know this is only ONE example that shows the importance and necessity of eliminating certain food groups, temporarily! We have at least 10 similar finding weekly- ‘healthy’ food groups that delay your weight loss due to inflammatory responses.

You simply can’t heal, if you don’t clearly identify what makes you sick. We may not like it, but we can’t deny it! Deny it and you’re back on the hamster wheel. 🐹 🔄

Let’s keep getting healthy and lose weight. We work hard for 8 weeks, then we maintain! 💪🏻💥

Chad is a fighter and his story should inspire all of us. Diagnosed with an auto-immune condition that impacts his blood cells, his diet has to be adjusted carefully, in order to prevent unnecessary increase in certain micronutrients. Needless to say, that doesn’t always impacts the way loss process in a way one would expect. That, however, didn’t stop Chad from making impressive progress, ending his 8 week protocol with a total weight loss of 29 lbs.

Chad, thank you for trusting us with your weight loss and wellness goals. You are a true inspiration and we are honored to be part of your journey!

The weight loss hierarchy 📝 :

Some may not like it or agree with it, but this weight loss hierarchy is THE order in which one should approach the weight loss, especially if you suspect underlying imbalances; and if you want to achieve immediate, sustainable weight loss and life style changes.

I ordered these mechanisms based on:
-studies that show the largest impact on weight loss when one of these mechanisms is compromised
-clinical findings with our CWLI patients

It is important to mention here that, while calorie deficit is needed to lose weight, the actual thermodynamics, meaning your body’s ability to burn calories, can be greatly DIMINISHED, if one or more of these mechanisms are compromised.

Other details such as hydration, macro ratio, day light exposure should not be ignored. They are typically sub-categories of one of these mechanism.

No one is perfect about this and the approach to fine tuning each mechanism can, at times, be challenging for various reasons. Also, in some cases, the order of approach could be reversed, as some of these mechanisms are closely interconnected, leading to a cause-effect type of feedback. The reason why, working with a professional can help individualize the approach based on your specific needs; and determine if there is need for testing or other assessments in order to prevent unwanted delays.

Wrapping this one up by encouraging everyone not to dismiss this post easily. Addressing these points can finally break your weight loss pattern of defeat; and it can have tremendous positive effects on all the things people care about: mental clarity, focus, energy, motivation, hormones, longevity, physical endurance, etc.

If you don’t know where to start, I’d encourage you to sign up for the free weigh loss consultation at any of our locations or fully remote. Simply go to the link listed below.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please share it with others who can benefit from this info

💥18 lbs💥 gone so far and how cute is she?!

Friends, you will never regret prioritizing yourself and choosing healthy over temporary comfort. Comfort is your short term friend, but long term enemy.

Erica, congratulations on your hard work. We are so proud of the way you show up for yourself week after week. Looking forward to more updates in the near future!
