Want To Get Lean? STOP Doing These Things (And Start Doing These Instead!) – Balanced Vibes Ep 105

It was early 2020 when I realized that I want to lose some body fat. During the previous few years, I had gained quite a bit of weight because I had to overcome my hormonal imbalances. I was healthy now, I didn't need more weight, and I wanted to feel better in my body.

Note, if you're currently very stressed out, overtrained, or have an eating disorder, this is not a post for you. Please see a specialist who can help you.

But for me, it was important that I started looking at my habits and behaviors differently when I wanted to see results.

Here are the things that I started doing, to lose fat:

✅Tracking macros, based on numbers that my friend and macro coach had calculated for me

✅Eating A LOT more protein – get the exact protein guide in my bio

✅Controlling my portion sizes more, and realizing that smaller amounts satisfied me perfectly

✅Asking myself if I actually wanted to eat that thing, or am I doing this out of a habit

✅Lifting a lot heavier – Big Girl Weights

Here are the things that I stopped doing, to lose fat:

⛔Snacking on random stuff throughout the day without paying any attention to what I was doing and also how much my body actually needed

⛔Going back for seconds when I wasn't actually hungry anymore

⛔Eating carb only snacks and meals

⛔Being ashamed for wanting to lose body fat

⛔Trying to lose fat by eating “intuitively”

Here's what happened as results of these changes:

👉I finally realized why I had kept gaining weight although I was eating “mostly healthy” – I was simply eating too much which I had not figured out without tracking

👉Less body fat, more muscle mass

👉Morning fasting glucose from 100+, to 75-85 regularly

👉So much stronger!!

👉Much more in tune with what my body needs and how it responds to certain foods and macros.

I had to stop guessing and start doing the RIGHT things for me.
