- Your total effort level that you give reduces

Body critique even as you get to your leanest not out of it

But the thing is

I want to go back to where you mentioned the people with a lot of body fat that also have the mindset and habits holding them back

Focusing on not dieting doesn’t meal not losing weight, it means shifting your focus but having actions aligned for fatloss + another focus point

You know its going to take longer than you want it to anyway so chasing something tangible & exciting is important

Resassurance

What to expect

Kilos to be kickass

You cant thrive on 1500 calories

You will never thrive without carbs

You will struggle to get to the gym bc things feel hard

Your energy isn’t all there

People you see say they train hard blah blah but still acnt see gains, glutes cant grow blah lah

The same people are trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time

People are impatient enough

You make it harder with this approach

Chase performance, hard to do when you don’t have strategy, or someone to show you where to look

You still need to be intentional outside of dieting so you don't gain too much fat

Sometimes a coaches job is to just stop yuou doing dub crap like changing your macros as a knee jerk reaction

The process of a true transformation

Is phasic

And they get easier over time as you gain more experience

But you ned consistency not only optimizing things here and there

Your life is in flux. Adapt your targets to the season of life you are in

The missing part in a transformation is usually allowing yourself long enough to build

Mindsets that hold you back from building the body you want

Being afraid to eat more consistently for long enough but why you need to

Not dieting doesnt always mean getting into a surplus… if you still have alot of bodyfat, you can build in maintenance but otherwise a slight surplus will serve you better

You still need to be intentional outside of dieting so you don't gain too much fat

Things you need to let go of

The identity crisis you can have in not being “a dieter” or “chasing fatloss” anymore

How it can feel worse before it feels better

What to focus on & how to train for optimal results

How body image isnt about a look or number perse but something deeper

Shifts you need to make to build muscle, lose fat and keep your results long term

What you do to lose the weight isn’t what you to do keep it off

But your lifestyle

• Fear that its going to be the rest of their life

• It feels too hard

• The commitment is the hard part because it feels too long

• Its hard at first and there are a lot of tradeoffs, youll have to say no… people are unwilling to say  no

Why its important to have a coach outside of a fatloss phase

But also in one

If you do it the right way, the after phase will be so much easier to transition out of have give you

Any transition is hard

Any transition between phases

Identity crisis

Identity of a dieter

Always on a diet always struggling to lose weight
