Redefining Strength Podcast

So you want to see more ab definition…

You want to achieve that elusive “six pack”...

Well, here are 10 annoying nutrition tips to help you get there!

But a word of warning to get abs, you can’t be concerned with sustainability. 

That comes later.

This isn’t the time to focus on how you can work in your cocktails or your favorite desserts as much as I’m all about balance long-term.

Because what we do to achieve a goal, is NOT what we do to maintain it.

But to reach a level of leanness you’ve never achieved, or haven’t seen in awhile, you’ve got to be willing to sacrifice and push hard, especially when you’d rather sit on the coach and binge watch chick flicks while eating ice cream…

Maybe that’s just me…

But achieving abs is about pushing your body’s set point, and that does mean being more precise with your diet and workouts.

Those 1% matter.

That’s why these 10 tips are key.

Sometimes you have to slow down to be able to speed up towards reaching those goals!

Learn how taking a moment to pause between thought and action can help override automatic patterns and lead to more intentional decisions.

Being more intentional with your daily habits can lead up to big results that last!

Ten reasons why you may not be seeing the results you desire in your health and fitness journey!

I "SHOULD" be in better shape.

SHOULD

That one word often sabotages the mindset changes we need to make and habit actions we need to take.

“I “should” be further along.”

Only makes us frustrated and feel broken and like a failure. It doesn’t help us learn or want to make more changes.

“I “should” workout 6 days a week.” “I “should” track my macros.”

Ideals are fabulous. But if you can’t do them? 

We often do NOTHING.

We need to, as one of my fabulous coaches says “Stop SHOULDING all over ourselves.”

Because when we say all the things that SHOULD be happening, we don’t focus on what we actually CAN do.

SHOULD prevents us from making a change. 

I’d encourage you right now to even ask, “Why SHOULD you do this? Why SHOULD you be further along?”

Because so often we never really ask this important question.

And when we do, we pause to assess what we are actually doing and what we need to move forward. The mindsets we CAN shift and the actions we CAN take.

That’s why in this video I want to share 3 steps you can take TODAY to honestly create an action plan to move forward toward your goals.

Uncover the importance of creating a sustainable health and fitness routine that fits one's current life stage and priorities. 

While realizing the significance of starting small, understanding one's deeper motivations, and making incremental changes that lead to long-term success is the first place to start!

Unrealistic expectations can lead to frustration and emotional sabotage!

While we can set goals, we cannot control the exact rate of progress. Instead, focus on controllable actions such as diet, exercise, and sleep routines to help drive success. 

By setting realistic expectations based on actions within our control, we can build momentum and ultimately achieve our desired outcomes.

The changes we least want to make are the ones we need the most.

And often we already know the answer to the question of “What diet changes do I need to make to see results?”…we just need to be REMINDED of what to do. 

We need to be reminded to take our ego out of the equation and go back to basics. Any eating 

We need to be reminded to Suck It Up Buttercup and do the hard habits that lead to results. 

That’s why I’m going to start by telling you the change you need to make the most but will most want to avoid, and probably have even listed out tons reasons not to do like…

It’s restrictive
I don’t want to be obsessive
It’s too time consuming
It’s too hard
I can’t because I cook fresh
I can’t because I eat out and travel
I can’t because I have a family
I can’t because…


You can probably come up with 100s of reasons why you don’t need to do this and shouldn’t have to…

But guess what?

All of those reasons haven’t moved you forward toward your goals. 

They’ve held you back from making the change you need the most to see your hard work in the gym and your “healthy” diet paying off in the fat loss and muscle gains you want…Let's look at 4 diet changes that will FIX 93% of your problems
