We all sometimes struggle for motivation, when I look where I was starting and remember how much work it actually takes makes me wanna do more.

I've come this far not to only come this far 😈

Losing weight is not the hardest bit, anyone can lose weight just stop eating so much and move ur ass a little bit 🤓

It took me around 8months to actually lose weight from 105kg to 67kg. I was maintaining that for a year staying at ridiculously low calories I'm talking around 1000 calories and I was literally stuck skinny fat wasn't losing anymore fat while training every single day, wasn't gaining muscle either, was always tired and grumpy.

Last year in May I have started reverse dieting trying to build more muscle mass. That was the best decision ever 😊😊😊 Yeah I have gained some fat with it but it was sooooo worth it. My maintenance calories are around 2500 calories now, so I imagine my cut will be much more fun this time 🤓🤓🤓Just not sure when this is happening.

Make your weight loss easier - Focus on Volume!

By focusing on foods that are lower calorie and higher volume, you’re going to fill up on fewer calories. Instead of eating less food, you’re actually eating MORE food with fewer calories in order to help you reach that deficit.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These are just a few examples, but there are hundreds of other changes you can make. Instead of having a handful of granola in the morning, start enjoying a bowl of oatmeal for the same calories. Instead of a side of cooked spinach that shrivels down to virtually nothing, enjoy a side salad of spinach for a ton more volume. Instead of snacking on pretzels, enjoy a shitload of popcorn.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

By focusing on foods that are high in volume (and that you still enjoy), you’ll be able to achieve a deficit without making yourself miserable.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the most important things we can do is to listen to our bodies👂🕺. That’s what intuitive eating is all about! So even though we THINK we would love to eat a burger 🍔 or a donut 🍩 every single day, the truth is it could be too much for our bodies. They are wise enough to know what we need, when we need it and where’s our limit. We just have to pay attention. ⠀ Have you ever felt that you’ve eaten too much, let’s say… chocolate 🍫 , that all of a sudden you can’t even smell it 🤢? That’s what happens when we overflow ourselves with the same food; the pleasure vanishes and you just get tired of it . Even if we go the other way around! Imagine the only food you have is a bunch of vegetables 🥗. Veggies for breakfast 🥗, veggies for lunch 🥗, veggies for snacks 🥗, veggies for dinner 🥗 Well, your body will ask for something else, probably the opposite just to take a break from that eating routine. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ In order to feel good when it comes to food, it’s essential to maintain the balance ⚖️. We have to fuel our bodies with a little bit of this 🥗 and a little bit of that 🌭. That's’ why some days you might want to eat junk food and other days you’ll prefer healthier foods instead, like veggies, fruits, proteins, and healthy fats. And it’s ok to treat yourself with carbs every now and then. The key relies on allowing yourself the opportunity to choose what you want 🌮🍎. That’s what freedom is about, right? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ So don’t deprive yourself from eating what your body’s requesting. If you are craving a donut, go eat it! If you are craving an apple, go for it. Just enjoy!⠀ ⠀⠀ Tell us, what would you like to eat today? ⠀ Inspired by the amazing @no.food.rules⠀ ⠀ Thanks to @mealpreponfleek

6 Types of Meals That Support Fat Loss

Eating for fat loss doesn't have to be complicated, time consuming, or unenjoyable.

In fact, it can be quite the opposite if you know how to do it right.

The reason these types of meals make it easy is because they're high in 4 things:

✅ Protein

✅ Fiber

✅ Water

✅ Volume

Making them filling while still being low in calories.⁣ And by using low calorie sauces and seasonings, you can make them flavorful and delicious.

And they aren’t hyper palatable, so you won’t feel the desire to keep eating once you’re done, like you would with a slice of pizza.⁣

If you’re struggling to come up with fat loss friendly meals that are simple to prepare, keep this framework in mind.

Pick your protein, decide what veggies you want to go along with it, then use one of the 6 S's to turn into what you want.

To feel even more satisfied, you can add a starch to go along with it. A little bit of fat is ok for flavor but careful not to go overboard cause those calories can add up quick.

Stick to this template for your 3 main meals while and you really can't go wrong.

Something to think about ...

PERFECTION GUARANTEES FAILURE. Perfection is not a target, it's an excuse we tell ourselves to stay the way we are. By making the choice to eat perfectly or poorly, you'll always choose poorly because you know you can't hit perfection. Perfection is not a real standard, it's setting you up for failure. And then you make one bad choice during the day and you think the day is ruined and you may as well start again tomorrow because today wasn't perfect.

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION. Focus on making small improvements. Make the goal one step ahead of where you are now, and then when you hit that move it one step further again. You'll start to build momentum and soon enough you'll be living the life that you dream of...

💤 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T SLEEP AND HOW TO SLEEP BETTER! by: corylrodriguez

  👉 Swipe to see what you can also do to make your sleep better! 🛌 Raise your hand if you know you don’t get enough sleep or your sleep quality is just not great! 🌿 If you are looking for CBD oil, check out my new line @onehealthycbd 📅 Now some people physically cannot sleep more due to their schedule , kids etc. In this case, since we can’t change sleep duration, we can simply focus on how to make your sleep quality better! 👀I also know there are quite a few people who could get more sleep if it were a priority, but they do not put it at the top of the list unfortunately! 📺 I want this to remind you to get more sleep when you have the opportunity vs watching another hour of Netflix at night. 🧠 Reduced Brain Function- Lack of sleep can lead to an increased development of a toxic protein in the brain that is called beta-amyloid which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. 🦠 Weakened Immune System- After just 1 night of missed sleep, there is a 70% reduction in critical cancer fighting immune cells called natural killer cells. ❤️ Pressure- When you sleep, your body naturally lowers blood pressure, so chronic lack of sleep can lead to a 200%  increased risk of having a fatal heart attack or stroke in your lifetime. 😩 Weakened Gut- There is a strong link between lack of sleep and your gut microbiome health. The gut bacteria starts to shift into a negative direction. 🤯 Smaller Testicle Size- Men who get 4-5 hours of sleep vs 7, have been shown to have reduced testicle size and much lower testosterone levels for their age. ⚖️ Disrupted Hormones- Lack of sleep throws off melatonin levels, cortisol levels and hunger signals. 📝 The recommendation would be 7-9 hours..
