M&H

“I eat healthy but I can’t get rid of stubborn belly fat” This is probably what I hear the most often from guys trying to get in shape. So if you’re eating healthy, what’s the problem? Well 1 of 2 things might be happening. Issue 1️⃣ Sure, you’re eating super nutritious food with tons of micronutrients 🥗, but you’re simply eating too MUCH of it. Good food or not, if you eat too much and enter a caloric surplus, you’re gonna gain weight (probably mostly body fat unless you’re strength training and getting the right amount of protein). Issue 2️⃣ Maybe you eat super healthy Monday through Friday! Cook your meals, lots of protein, only 1 Oreo at dinner. BUTTTT, then the weekend comes. Drinks on drinks on burgers on fries on ice cream on whatever else. Yes…a weekend CAN very easily wipe out a week’s worth of good choices. 😔 If you want to lose body fat, you have to be in a caloric deficit. (Burn more calories than you consume) Throwing an extra 3500 calories on top of your maintenance calories gains you 1 extra pound of body fat. And 3500 isn’t hard to get. That’s a burger meal + Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream tub… So what’s a good strategy for winning? 📈📈 🔺Track your food. It’s tough to know where to adjust if you don’t take stock first. Track your food for 1-2 weeks and take note of when your calories tend to spike or which foods you gravitate towards. 🔺Make small adjustments. You don’t need a stranger to give you a meal plan that makes no sense for your life. Eat as you normally would and adjust portions. Maybe instead of a full serving of fries, just eat half. Instead of 3 glasses of wine, have 2. 🔺Find balance. You don’t have to “give up” foods you love. Just be aware of your decisions and how they impact your body. Hiding your head in the sand isn’t going to help. Message me “Balance” if you want to find a sustainable way to look good without giving up foods you love. You won’t make progress until you start. • • • • • • • • • • • #fitnesscoaching #fitpro #flexiblenutrition #losebellyfat #losebodyfat #macros #iifym #onlinefitnesscoach

Ok, so many will see this as an attention seeking post or thirst trap, and gosh I really hope it is…. 😜 But more over, it’s me being happy with a body and a picture that I rarely find joy in… We all need to remember that social media isn’t real…. Nothing we see is a full, all encompassing picture of who someone really is, even when it bares as much as this one… For a majority/ the entirety of my life, I have struggled with doubt, insecure about my looks, my identity, my body, my social status…. It’s only been recently that I can look myself in the mirror and not be awash with disgust or fear… it has little to do with my outer appearance (though I’m very proud and happy of my progress) and more to do with the acceptance of who I am and the constant practice of gratitude for the life I live…. For anyone who struggles with self esteem or image issues, you are far from alone… and for anyone who says I have nothing to worry about or that I’m good looking so shouldn’t feel insecure, that’s kind of you, but it does little hear assurance from the outside world when the inside torrent is so much louder… we all struggle no matter who we are, what we look like, or how others think we should perceive ourselves… the best thing is to be kind to ourselves, and be forgiving and kind to others…. SORRY. This post is sappy and long, but thanks for indulging my rants ;) #truth #gay #selfesteem #fit #sappy #thirsttrappin #thirstythursday #risky #muscle #single ;) lol
