🤦🏼‍♀️Can’t lose weight? You probably 🤦🏼‍♀️Can’t lose weight? You probably aren’t ‘broken’, you just need to pay closer attention to portion sizes…
.
⚖️Fat loss occurs in a calorie deficit…
.
👉🏻There’s a large margin for error when logging if you’re not measuring your food…
.
👇🏻For example…
.
🥜A tablespoon of peanut butter is 120 calories, a ‘heaping’ tablespoon is 150 calories…
.
🍎A small apple is 95 calories, but a large apple is 125 calories…
.
🍗3 oz of chicken is 140 calories, an extra ounce (4 oz) is 185 calories…
.
🤪This may seem like splitting hairs, but over the course of the day, those extra calories really add up & can take away any calorie deficit you’re working towards…
.
😏In fact, these ‘guesstimates’ can even put you in a surplus, so fat loss is just not possible…
.
👁️Eyeballing food is a good start, but if your fat loss has stalled, it’s time to weigh & measure…
.
📝Food logging is a wonderful educational tool, and you won’t have to do it for the rest of your life…
.
🕰️Over time, you can return to eyeballing your food once you’ve had more experience & practice…
.
🤷🏼‍♀️Need some help?…
.
👯‍♀️Accountability to a coach is one of the most powerful tools to helping you stay the fat loss course. Having someone to ask questions or bounce ideas off of is invaluable - although my most affordable accountability program is less than $2/day…
