Nutrition can be so simple

Calorie deficit

Do these things

But like you said strategist

In a world where we went from bro chicken broccoli stick tracking

To then intuitive, positivity, HAES and the total other side with you don't need to obsess over xyz to even sometimes calling tracing disordered. What do you have to say about that

Because my opinion is there is nothing more consuming and obsessive than hating where you are so much feeling so restricted byet not seeing results or cutting out certain foods etcetc thinking thats the thing kjeeping you “”” fat”””

------> what do you notice when you are being a detective when people say their metabolism is slow and deficit doesnt work

Or theyve been trying to lose weight for years

How do you approach that

----

Unsustainable

Living diet hell

People are willing to yoyo for 50 years of their life… but cant give patience for a couple of years moving in the right direction

Many women can diet on alot more calories than they think…

And maintain on even more

But the issue is most people are eating way more than they think or say or “”” track”””

Weekends

Bottle necks

Why planning is important vs winging it

Anticipate things

The level of tradeoffs we also need to balance

Which i would say as a parent, if there is alot more value in family, then its even more important you nail the details of fatloss phases and do it accurately so you can get out of the phase asap and start living at maintenance

As we get older… after kids… we tend to find our “metabolism slows” and things don't “work the same”

But is that REALLLY the case… maybe you can nix that myth and explain the real truth to this, especially as a parent yourself now

The biggest struggles people come up against with nutrition

Buffet effect

80/20

i also like thinking of it like training

Aiming for 80 20 is why many struggle... its a TARGET vs a byproduct of life coming up etc

It's aiming to be as 'on point' as you can bc life accounts for 20% without you planning for it

like date nights, events, a busy day... etc

Building structure and routine & why its important

“I eat pretty healthy but the scale isn’t moving!”

Food tracking: tedious chore that makes you obsess about food? Or total game changer if you want to lose weight without feeling like you’re on a diet?

Aligning your identity

What progress means to you & your relationship with the journey

****

Yes thats the identity shift

When you think about what makes you feel good so you can show up and perform at your best everything also changes

Performance goals

More people have DE out there than you realise and BID

**** felt fluffy

Relationship with your body and food

Going back to the yoyo

Where a coach comes in, how a coach is quintessential in the game of not jsut weightloss but BEFORE and AFTER weightloss - where weightloss is NOT the main event because you want to learn how to keep results

Coaches don't sell weightloss, they sell a better life - how to get clients to see it more

Eating out

Alcohol

Sometimes you need to get strict and hard on yourself to get your foot in the game and then ease into more easy and flexibility - which is where a coach comes in because this can be hard

People don't know they need a coach, they see people talking about it. Might think its only elite things idk

Someone whos done crash diets and seen fast results before getting trapped and stuck thinking nothing will work like that - they compare everything to that experience

Other things that hold us back that fuck us up more bc social media spins it saying you can have your cake and eat it too… which isnt the case for most people starting out

But doesnt meant restriction just knowing what the journey takes

How you can adapt your level of eating to a new normal which may mean more sacrifices at first

How the mirror can be just as fatal as the scales as its still reflecting your inner self

#324;- almost half way through the year; how are your habits? helping behaviour change. How to become a NEW version of you /Karin Nordin

REPLAY of #222

@karinnordinphd

@transformxruby

___

To become a new version of me i have to make different decisions

GROWTH MINDSET

Embracing the HARD

Facing resistance, its normal

Main specific i think theres something wrong with my body

evidence in the past

Self belief

PERCEIVED IDENTITY

SELF BELIEFS

Challenge

You will never have evidence in the past for something you want to create (thats new)

Intrinsic motivation

Its hard to care about our aging self etc

Its easy to be motivated by the now

“I can never follow through with anything”

“People who have a heap of things on their list

Re-framing the way we think

tangible things you can do to create these shifts and discipline vs. skill development.

Learn to like it

Right now we may not -

Mind management

YOU CANT JUST GET THESE TOOOLS you need to to

Alot of people find this hard with a new way of eating

And then continuing it on

Same with waking up and showing up to the gym and keeping consistency

Because yeah cool we can start a habit do it for a while and then fall off

Cognitive awareness & flexibilityPOWER OF ACCOUNTABILITY

how and why to embrace failure.

how our mindset on behavior is often black and white, how to change the way we view this, and how behavior change actually works.

procrastination / self-talk that stops the acting part

Snakes and ladders

RELATEDNESS

I love how you said that so excited - people don't

People don't understand what they need

And tune into their feelings

What they want to feel or run away from

#323; Iris Deadlifts - the answers to what you want with your physique, takes THIS!!!

@irisdeadlifts

@transformxruby

if you want to look toned outside the gym you have to look jacked inside the gym, and that’s more muscle than people think

Body change

Numbers on the scales

Thinking we will be happy when

Take the OUTCOME off the pedestal

The process is where it happens

People think all the answers are in getting lean

What it takes to get toned

What the body takes

People

We arent anti fatloss

But right context

Right mindset

Do the work before it so you make it easier

So you can get in and not struggle so much and see better results

Have a better

people think dieting is always the answer to what they are feeling or struggling with

When thats all they did they usually come to us

Fuel for fatloss

Don't starve it

When life is crazy, we take the toll on our bodies

When we feel out of control of life we take the toll on our bodys

Reactive living

that they will only get bulky if they do anything else or they are afraid MOSTLY for clothes to get tigher, pants to get tighter

progress is only about getting leaner - they havent expandded their meaning of that nor phsyqiue

they dont realise toned bodies have way more muscle

that as you get older its even more important

and that theres more to all of this than chasing fatloss

beyond all its damn fucking patience

People thinking bodies don't jiggle

Lifestyle bodies vs what we think we should be looking like

What the lean hard tight body requires

Your body isnt a passport photo either

6 months building

I've been doing this for a year and it's like I know that feels like it's a long time but really and I look back at pictures of myself after like a year and I I don't look like I'm really in shape at all you know so it's like it just takes a long time like years upon years of going through this and it doesn't mean that nothing is happening along the way it's just it's it's slow

You don't need to look at the photos you take. Its data. Stop over analyzing

Take the photos, store them, leave them

Then compare year after year and see it in a zoomed out perspective

The aging body and still comparing yourself to your 30s

#322; Bet on the future version of who; invest in the PHASIC process. Youre focused on the wrong things/ ben Maysfield smith

@ben_mayfieldsmith_

@transformxruby

#

Building from a more empty canvas, its a different dragon to fight - #

You cant keep trying to lose the last couple kgs or get to the lean without going through the other phases

The end physique needs to be built

If this is you, my biggest tips to help this period:

1- Focus on performance metrics

2- Accept bodyfat is part of the process

3- Understand scale weight is only data and not reflective of you are a person

4- Constantly check in with yourself, remember you’re more than the scale or photo

5- To build a dream physique, accept being uncomfortable

6- Journal your thoughts to prevent negative self-talk and challenge irrational thoughts of self.

# Doing hard things…”balance cant coexist when trying to change who you are”

Everything is phasic

Balance does NOT co exist with fatloss

With extreme goals

But its also not forever

Playing too comfortable can hold you back… we went from one bro extreme of hard core bodybuilding bro shit;... to now resisting the work - resisting things of like having

#

Sometimes its not in pushing harder but in taking an alternative approach

Sometimes you need to do unsustainable things to get to a place where you can find a new level of normal

But this is where social media lets you down

they always preach leaning down weight loss ove rand over

They each you ohw to lose weight and speak of that but hardly anything else

The 12 week transformations

Noone has patience for anything else

People hire coaches or do things only to lose weight

They wont subscribe or anything else

#

Trying to build muscle but be as lean as you can

Wanting to build muscle but refusing to eat enough because you are scared of the scale or gaining more weight

Your pants feeling tight when you say you want more defined legs which demands building muscle

People are mentality resistant to dieting

Unable to give a fatloss phase what it takes

Because despite not physically seeing results - theyre living in a limbo because they attach themselves so much to this lean

Waiting for the next fat loss phase

Wanting to cut calories

Scared to eat more

Scared to allow themselves more flexibility or to focus on a new direction

The why and the how. The answers arent always known at first

You need to have a flexible identity a flexible mindset that you allow to adapt, to pivot to evolve

As you go along it

-

Your balance and success criteria can evolve and change as you do and thats ok

Sometimes we don't slow down enough to realise our initial goals arent the now

We need to let go of obsessing over losing weight and what a scale says or these quantitative checkins

To allow us to understand HOW we geel, WHAT we need to focus on

How we can build a lifestyle we truly love

A live we can sustain any results we get

But also keep achieving more

Like it might be more obsessive to start with

I take that back

You may need to obsess more over prepping, planning, dealing with the discomfort of maybe eating the same thing every day and dealing with some reheated food

But it gets easier

------------

Most of those people didnt start that way with being so flexible either

Saying no to things means your saying yes to less desirable things you don't want

Isnt better if you choose your fuck yesses

the process so so important

You need to nail the basics and build the bricks

Going from really overweight to “lean” if you do it right in the sense that you are doing some form of resistance training

You will appear as though you lost fat and built muscle

Yeah you probs built some… but most was what that heavy body was already carrying around under it - if you really took it home with a coach, yes you will reveal a better physique but that works til it doesnt.

Instant gratification Why you will never get your goal in 12 week challenges; how a 12 or 16 week minimum is really only starting ground because of the complecxities of being human, behaviour and beliefs
