Time for some tough love y’all NEED to hear 🤷🏼♂️
The amount of mental gymnastics I hear people go through to justify why they aren’t meeting their fat loss goals should have placed them in the Olympics by now 🙄
“I have a slow metabolism.” While a small percentage of the population have slow metabolisms, on average obese individuals have similar or FASTER metabolisms than lean individuals (PMIDs: 18223609 & 3083978)
People love to blame hormones but what’s funny is they will rarely state which hormones specifically & if they do they don’t explain how. Some hormones can affect weight by increasing hunger or decreasing energy expenditure such as thyroid hormone. What is interesting is most the people who claim this have never had their hormones measured, because if they did, & found out they were normal, then they’d have one less excuse 🤷🏼♂️. If you have a hormonal problem, you need an endocrinologist, not some idiot on social media 😑
Then there are the folks who feel like they just haven’t put together the right macros. In reality they hop from one fad diet to the next & are NEVER consistent, they binge eat between their diet hopping but yea, it’s that your carb/fat ratio was off by 2%, THATS what is stopping you 🙄
Then you have the folks that blame specific nutrients: sugar, carbs, seed oils, lectins, artificial sweeteners & in the case of carnivore idiots, veggies 🤣. Research has shown people lose basically equal weight on all different kinds of nutrients so long as calories are equated & they adhere to the diet (PMIDs: 32238384 & 25182101)
Can I be real? Most of these are just reasons used to offload personal accountability. Meanwhile they binge eat on the weekends, eat out constantly, drink like fish, & are never consistent or honest with themselves about what the problem is 🤦🏼♂️
Your desire to protect your ego is what is crushing your progress. Yes some people have genetic & environmental circumstances that make it harder for them to lose fat. But do you think everyone who has lost weight had it easier than YOU?
