If you’re trying to change your body, you’re probably doing things that feel productive…

but aren’t actually making much difference.

What most people are doing (that backfires):

❌ Chase losing 1-2 lbs per week
Then panicking when the scale doesn’t move that fast.

❌ Slashing calories
You’re starving by 3 PM, and end up raiding the pantry at night.

❌ Hammering cardio while half-assing lifting
Lots of sweat, no strength progression, body still looks “soft.”

❌ Obsessing over daily weigh-ins
Getting demotivated when you see a single bump up despite doing your best.

Here's what to START doing instead:

✅ Aim to lose around 0.5-1.25% of your bodyweight per week

Depending on how much fat you have to lose, and your tolerance for hunger.

✅ Eat a high-protein diet

More of each pound you lose comes from fat, not muscle.

✅ Follow a workout plan

2-4x/week lifting. Aim for progress (sets, reps, load, and better technique).

✅ Look outside the number between your toes

Scale averages. Clothing fit. Progress photos. Strength in the gym. Hunger, mood, energy.

✅ Accept the terms

You might be hungry. It might take longer than you think. But you can't keep giving up.
