Two things you can start doing today if you’re trying to lose weight

Trying to lose weight?

Does it feel like you’ve been dieting your entire life?

Are you overwhelmed with ALL of the information you see online?

Eat this, don’t eat this. Carbs are good, carbs are bad.

Intermittent fasting is the ticket, sweating your a** off at Orange Theory is the way to go.

The internet and social media are FULL of “secrets” to weight loss, and it can be daunting when you’re trying to figure out where to start.

This is why we want you to focus on TWO THINGS as you’re getting started.

Just two.

And we want you to start today.

You don’t have to be perfect, and starting SOMEWHERE and doing SOMETHING is better than NOTHING:

  1. Focus on building strength. Instead of immediately aiming for weight loss, prioritize gaining strength. Building muscle can increase your metabolism, making it easier to maintain weight loss long-term. It's about shifting focus from the scale to improving strength and fitness levels, which can lead to sustainable results.

  2. Track your food intake. Start by tracking what you eat without worrying about calories or macronutrients. This practice increases awareness of your eating habits and can naturally lead to healthier choices. It's a form of mindfulness that encourages you to pay more attention to your diet. You can use a food tracking app (we recommend MacrosFirst), or simply write it down in a notebook. Keep it simple. (If you try MacrosFirst and are digging it, slide into our DMs and we’ll give you a discount code for the premium version).

How you lose the weight is how you keep it off. Starting small encourages long term weight loss - dramatically trying a drastic, calorie restriction and intense fitness plan is not something that is likely sustainable for you. It’s what you do daily that impacts your body composition.

If you’d like custom macronutrients to support your fat loss goals, fill out this form on our website, and we’ll get you on your way!
