She has been putting her own needs behind everyone else\u2019s for far too long. Monica\u2019s been having some come-to-Jesus conversations with those closest to her and she\u2019s ready to make a big change.\u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>Monica is opting for a longer deficit because she feels she has a lot of weight to lose before feeling comfortable again &#8211; she wants to take the slow and steady route. She\u2019s excited to hire a trainer and get back to regular exercise later in the year because she knows she can best build muscle, and therefor change her shape and size by eating enough (not less!) than what she needs. \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>What\u2019s going on with Shannon? \ud83d\ude4b\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>Shannon wants to lose fat and gain muscle. Her old methods like running and skipping a few meals are just not working to control her weight or physique anymore. \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>She will spend the majority of the year eating to her needs while strength training with progressive overload which will change her body composition. During this time she might lose some fat, but that will be accelerated during her specific, short stint deficit phases. \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>What\u2019s going on with Sherry? \ud83d\udc81\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>Sherry has been a fitness enthusiast for many years &#8211; she\u2019s not a beginner. But she craves big, strong curves and she\u2019s frustrated that her years of training haven\u2019t really resulted in that goal physique. \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>She\u2019s decided she needs to get out of the dieting mindset and actually feed her body to grow. She\u2019s going to spend most of the year eating at or above her needs so she can create an environment fit for growing muscles \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>What\u2019s going on with Nellie? \ud83d\ude46\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>Nellie\u2019s is chillin&#8217; and loving the training routine she\u2019s in. She may or may not have body composition or athletic performance goals, but she\u2019s not particularly jazzed about anything right now. Because of that, she\u2019s comfortable eating right around her needs most day of the week.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af4c4df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af4c4df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a69e5b\" data-id=\"4a69e5b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfca472 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"cfca472\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df3ba87\" data-id=\"df3ba87\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9af3d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e9af3d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">need help learning how to phase your macros?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fcc998d\" data-id=\"fcc998d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8049cf8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8049cf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/emilyfieldrd.com\/work-with-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">apply for coaching<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a32c670\" data-id=\"a32c670\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a91f978 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a91f978\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are endless reasons why you might want to move through deficit, maintenance, reverse &#038; surplus phases.
