Every time I complete a cut (aka, fat loss program) I learn how I can improve for the next one.. ⬇️
1. I FULLY COMMITTED TO MY CUT
👉I would start a cut and within the first 4-6 weeks, panic thinking “I’m losing too much muscle, I need to bulk”… I would start a bulk & think “I’m getting too big, I need to do a mini cut”
👉Commit to ONE and stick with it.
👉It’s normal to appear “flat” during your cut from a decrease in carbs. Your muscles will fill right back out again when you start maintenance.
👉It’s normal to gain some fat during your bulk, again it’s what you signed up for and it doesn’t need to be permit.
2. I FOCUSED MORE ON THE WORK I WAS PUTTING IN THEN THE RESULTS I WAS GETTING
👉Over the last couple weeks I have managed to hit a new all time low weight, without even realizing it…..
👉 I finally clued in the other day, that the last two cuts I’ve done, I ended with my weight at 172lbs
👉I’m currently consistently standing at 170lbs and dropping
👉 Theres not point in focusing on the results if the work is not where it needs to be, the RESULTS follow ➡️ the WORK
3. I DIDN’T SET A FINISH LINE
👉 This one always caused me so much stress from the pressure of being at a certain weight by a certain date
👉 All it did was push me to make bad decisions (under-eat, over restrict, over work) just to hit my goal
👉 And once I hit that weight, I was like “Ah finally, I’m done!! Now I can go stuff my face and lay on the coach”
👉 You can guess what happened next? I gained all the weight back…
👉 Start looking at this as a permit lifestyle shift that has no finish line!
👉 Wouldn’t you rather lose the weight in 6 months and keep it off, then lose the weight in 6 weeks, just to put it back on, + more?
👉 Essentially the “short way” becomes the long way
I hope this was helpful and you can learn from my mistakes 🤍
