In this episode, I’m walking you through how to start a calorie deficit the right way—not the rushed, panicked way most people try when they’re running on fumes and desperation.Whether you’ve tried calorie tracking before or you’re brand new to it, I break it down into manageable pieces. Because calorie tracking isn’t one thing. It’s a bunch of small behaviors stacked together. And if you can do them one at a time, you can win.You’ll learn: • Why you don’t need to track calories to lose weight (but when you should) • What to do if your deficit isn’t working anymore • How to break calorie tracking into small, doable pieces • Why “patience” doesn’t mean “lazy” • How to stop quitting every time the scale stalls • A better way to think about your hunger, your routine, and your progressI also share where I’m currently at in my own journey—yes, even coaches still have to work the process. I just came off a surplus phase, and I’m easing into a new deficit. I’ll tell you what I’m doing and what I’ve learned so you can apply it too.🎉 BONUS: I’m hosting a free 3-day masterclass called The Mindset of Weight Loss from June 23–25.This is the same mindset work I used to lose 125 pounds after an entire adulthood of obesity.
