Take it from my clients &#8211; most of them would say they didn\u2019t feel deprived or restricted in pursuit of weight loss. Heck &#8211; many would say they got stronger, leaner and fitter in the process, too!<\/p><p>Here are some of the things you can expect from working with me + my team:<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; A slight to moderate deficit, not a drastic one\u2063 which ensures you keep hormones happy and metabolism healthy. This is absolutely key if you\u2019ve got goals to gain lean muscle and lose body fat at the same time.<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; A focus on macros, because by controlling the protein, fat and carbohydrate content of your food you\u2019re giving the body gentle direction. Tracking macros is like speaking your body&#8217;s language and giving it clear instructions to lose body fat, not lean muscle &#8211; and so much more.\u2063<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; Spending the most of your year NOT dieting to increase metabolism\u2063 sets you up to burn more calories ALL the time which will lead to effortless maintenance of a body you feel comfortable in.<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; Having a plan for what to do after losing. Show me the person who lost weight over several months and kept it off forever \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\u00a0 because I know they learned how to show themselves respect through food.<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; No nonsense food rules! We don\u2019t believe in restricting for restricting sake so that\u2019s why you won\u2019t hear foods labeled \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d or \u201cclean\u201d and \u201cdirty\u201d. Part of the reason you\u2019re so confused about what to eat is because someone else\u2019s \u201callowed\u201d list in another\u2019s \u201cnever eat\u201d. It\u2019s time to break up with all that!<\/p><p>&gt;&gt; Learn how to improve your metabolism with habits and behaviors that are not related to nutrition. Even though we are food and nutrition experts, it doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t talk about the \u201cother\u201d stuff that can impact your long term success.<\/p><p>I like it better over there &#8211; and our clients do, too.<\/p><p>And, you\u2019ll learn all of these strategies in my Macros Made Easy course!
